Hi everyone!
Need some help: while playin' .mkv files with subtitles sometimes player shows not only the text but some special symbols (letters and digits).
This bug appears in case of "complicated" subs (when text must be placed in different sides of the screen: e.g. some text at the bottom and some - at the top).
It looks like this symbols are some commands for decoder, like tags in html or xml documents - but i'm not sure.
I have such a problem only with linux players (SMPlayer, Kaffein, VLC), in Windows with K-Lite CP 4.0 all subs are displayed correctly.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Re: Troubles with subs in .mkv files
The problem was partially solved by enablin' SSA/ASS support in SMPlayer. Now all subs displayed in the right positions, but the player still shows some "tags" like:
0 | 948 0 958 10 958 49
69 10 59 0 49 0 10 10 0
(smth like this).
I've found that this bug apears only when subs contain some pseudographics (frames etc.).
Maybe the problem is in the SSA v.4.00+ (i've read that this version of scripts not supported by older SSA libraries).

I think you are on the right track, more here

I have not found this on the (rather few commercial) movies I've watched on Mint (have 2 DVD players) but I vaguely recognize the problem - think I got it all over the place at some time
