Subtitles + DXVA

[hoborg]

That is something i missing there, would be great feature.

I believe it needs to be done on GB-PVR side (like MediaPortal did by adding MPC-HC subtitle engine). I known this is not possible on GB-PVR becouse it is not open source, but similar solution will be great.

Thanks.

It already does Subtitles + DXVA, namely .SRT subtitles, Teletext subtitles, and DVB Subtitles. I'm guessing you want some other type of subtitles?

For me most important are subtitles in MKV container (i mux all in to MKV).

All I can give you is a maybe on that one. GB-PVR doesnt currently give .mkv files any special attention currently, and instead focuses on the file types that GB-PVR records.

I fully understand that GB-PVR is and will be primary PVR - that is why i wrote it will be great to have such feature, becouse i think it is most missing one.
Too bad there is no other way how to have DXVA + subtitles on decoder (codec) part.

try using ccextractor to split the subs out as .srt, then they should play even in mkv i think..

And why should i do that? I put them in to MKV myself I like all in one file. Becouse i have "good" CPU, i use DirectVoBSub to display them right now.

And why should i do that?

He was giving you a way to view the subtitles with DXVA until sub could get around to adding that feature.

To be sure I understand --

Hardware acceleration (DXVA) for MKV containers containing subtitles is not possible with GBPVR at all? Are there other routes to HA, or am I pretty much hooped?

Splitting the subtitle streams out of the container is not an option - I depend on the hash of the original file.

As far as I know, subtitles break DXVA. MPC HomeCinema uses a custom renderer, iirc, so it can have DXVA and subtitles at the same time. GB-PVR supports external players, last I checked, so perhaps you can set MKV's to open with MPC-HC.

If you don't have a keyboard/mouse attached to your HTPC, it's possible to map out functions to some remote buttons. For my set-up, I use the channel up button for subtitle changing and the channel down button for switching audio.
