Armbian 5.20 Orange Pi One Subtitle problems

[eino]

Hello,

 

I'm using Armbian 5.20 on my Orange Pi. Everything is working as it should except for the subtitles in MPV.

I already upgraded to a newer version of MPV VDPAU which makes no difference so i went back to the orignal MPV and VDPAU.

 

The problem is that at intermittent times the subtiles display over each other. It seems that the first subtitle which should have been gone according to the srt is still being displayed under the newly displayed subtitle.

 

Have anyone encountered this problen and is there a solution to this problem?

I found out thast it doesn't matter if you use the server or desktop edition.

What happens is that the subtitle oldest overlay isn't removed. The new one is projected over it.

When i use the mouse and the player controls appear and dissapear again the oldest subtitles are removed and the image is ok.

 

Has anyone any got a clue what is going wrong?

vdpau-sunxi uses "always on top" overlay for video. If you want subtitles, you have to execute

export VDPAU_OSD=1

before playing video. Subtitles are then SW rendered on video image.

Hello Jernej,

 

Thanks for your answer. Vdpau and OSD do work but not as they should.

 

4 or 5 times a minute the subtitle overlay is not removed before the next subtitle overlay. So the subtitles get scrambled.

If i use the mouse to get controls the overlay that should not be there is removed when the controls dissapear.

I doubt there is enough interest to fix such issue, but you can always open an issue in vdpau-sunxi repo. You can also try my OpenELEC fork if you want, where there is no such problems.

Thanks, I will look into it.
