Problems with parsing certain embedded ass subtitles

[soltys@…]

I've uploaded fragment of offending file to recommended ftp site. File's name is ass-parse-problem.mkv, with the same description as here (+log) in a txt file.

Anyway - Whenever I play the file, I get (with -v 1) the following, when the first line of the subtitle is about to be displayed:

event at 17211, +-9223372036854775808: Dialogue: 0,0:00:17.21,0:00:19.31,Main,Kan'u,0000,0000,0000<sub>A dream, eh?

[ass] [0x3de2e58] Warning: no style named '0:00:19.31' found, using 'Main'
[postproc @ 0x1161c04]using npp filters 0x4404/0x4404</sub>

If I extract the ass file and load it separately - then everything works and is displayed properly. Not really sure what is the culprit here - subtitle file looks fine, unless single quote is not allowed for some reason.

Can't reproduce on linux x86. Are you using svn head?

[soltys@…]

This one was was taken directly from ​http://kovensky.project357.com/ - so latest is for sure not HEAD - but considering dates pretty close, and uses experimental mt code on top of it. I'll try to reproduce under linux with true SVN head.

Btw, this is the (win32) config I used:

ao=dsound

screenh=1050

This points to a demuxer problem. Maybe mt code is to blame.

[greg@…]

Kovensky's build uses the lavf demuxer by default, which causes this issue. I think he has put up a fixed build on his site already. If not, please use "-demuxer mkv" to get around this problem.

This wasn't a bug in MPlayer anyway.

Thanks for info, everything works fine now.
