Hello all,
I'd like to suggest a new feature for next versions of firmware: be able to show subtitles (in .srt, .sub formats) while playing movies.
Just overlay bitmap fonts, doesn't need to worry about anti-aliasing etc etc.
I think that it will be very usefull for people.
Thanks.
More info, see the original post thread:

I couldn't hurt to try
I'd like to see such a feature in the firmware regardless how buggy, cumbersome or frustrating it should be.
I know when it comes to PC, there are pieces of software that can make wonders in limited hardware options such as mplayer in Linux, the project Movix which can turn a dusty old Pentium 2 400 with 64 MB of ram into a highly capable Divx/Xvid and even h264 player. And that's for SP resolution (720x480@29fps).
If only meizu gave out the codes for the firmware and / or the exact specifications of the hardware used in miniplayer and I wonder what an army of skilled programmers could achieve.
Come on meizu!.. This would be the greatest publicity act you could achieve.

Thanked 0 Times in 0 PostsThe screen would be so small for subtitles........plus it's more of a MUSIC player than a movie player. I rather meizu fixes all the other bugs rather than adding subtitles.
Just re-encode the movie yourself with hardcoded subs. Easy. and also u'll learn something along the line as well. Killing 2 birds with 1 stone

people are always saying " work on the bugs before new features" but my list begins with OTG , that is the one i really want - Ok 4gb isnt much for otg but i can make my player 8gb with £25 ( but a usb memory stick 4gb or a sd card + reader) fingers crossed itwill playerback from the memory card when otg comes out.

Since we have to re-encode the video files before uploading to meizu, it doesn't really matter anyway. Just two lines of code in avisynth such as:
LoadPlugin("X:\path\to\vsfilter.dll")
TextSub("X:\path\to\subtitle.srt") # for SRT, SSA and ASS
or
VobSub("X:\path\to\subtitle.sub") # for SUB/IDX
Of course you should have avisynth and vsfilter available in your system. Maybe AutoGK handles easier.

Thanked 0 Times in 0 PostsYes, kahveisteyen has answered. Work by work, you have to reencode movies...
And maybe this feature is not so important...
Let's Meizu first fixes the bugs and certainly work on more important features...

Thanked 0 Times in 0 PostsI for one, since I'm currently watching Neon Genesis Evangelion to/from work, and I don't speak japanese.
My solution was to add subtitles while re-encoding the files in WinMenc. Using subtitle size 4 is just perfect, it is very easy to read while it doesn't hide the image much.

YES PLEASE, ask for bug fixing , not new features

What about concentrate on fixing the OTG-Support they promised back in february? Instead of fixing new useless features, such as animated GIF-support?!
I just don't get the prioritizes at Meizu?!miniPlayer SP 4GB | d-JAYS
