Delay subtitels longer than 10 seconds

[Apophis]

is there anyway to increase the delay limit ?!?
i can max delay my subtitle 10000 ml seconds, i know thats already a lot heh, but i was wondering if there is a way to increase it, as i need a lil more to fit some of my subtitles :( ??

thanks

hi there,
while i don't know the answer for your question, i wanted to bring to your attention an option i'm using to avoid such issues.
i use a pc s/w to sync the subs to the movie in question. imo its easier and faster than trying to find that *magic* delay.

i use submax for that.
you can find it here:
http://www.divx-digest.com/software/submax.html

also be aware that some formats (i'm not sure which is which...) use fps and other use elapsed time to sync the subs. those that use fps can cause out of sync issues. if your subs are synced to 23.97 fps and u watch a film with 29.97 *fps - even if you do sync them at one point, they will go out of sync after a couple of minutes...

hi,

when a download a movie and i downloaded a subtitle i often need to delay the subtitle...
there are some bad subtitles(or movies ??? ) and when i want to delay them xbmc only supports 10 seconds.
could there be a feature so the subtitles can be delayed up to 6 minutes?

i't would be very very great :thumbsup: :o

look in settings.xml - there is hidden settings for this i believe.

it's found in e:\tdata\0face008

[Lord_Vader]

thanks for the info

hello people, i've been searching first, to no luck...
i need more than 10 seconds in delay. i got a video but for some reason the timing in the srt file doesn't match the video.

i need like +12 seconds delay but xbmc gets up to +10... do you know if there is a conf file or an xml file in the whole pack of files to modify to get more than 10 seconds ?

please :)

thanks for your forthcoming help.

just fix the .srt with an util like subtitle workshop.

thanks very much. i edited the settings.xml and got it right !

:bowdown:

may i ask what's the setting name. i could not find any in my setting.xml file. these are all i have:

- <subtitles>
<charset>default</charset>
<color>0</color>
<enlargepercentage>100</enlargepercentage>
<flipbidicharset>false</flipbidicharset>
<font>arial-iso-8859-9</font>
<height>28</height>
<searchrars>false</searchrars>
<sep1 />
<style>2</style>
</subtitles>

if your using an up to date version of xbmc then its the advancedsettings.xml you have to edit.
it is found in the userdata folder.

<advancedsettings>

* *<video>
* * * *<subsdelayrange>xx</subsdelayrange> * * *
* *</video>

</advancedsettings>

i think this the code you gotta add, where xx is the time range in seconds. check the online manual.
oh if your using an older version you`ll need to edit the xml found in /e/tdata/ but i don`t know what to add, it might be the same. as a say check the online manual. (http://manual.xboxmediacenter.de/wakka.php?wakka=index)


cheers b4tm4n.

[civicguy]
