[Q] Subtitles keep showing up? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone,
I try to play either avi or mkv. It plays awesome! Really, no problems so far!
But, the thing is...i watch movies with subtitles(Greek to be exact) and I get the following:
When someone says something and after the dialog there is a dialog pause( meaning that nobody speaks, there are no dialogs etc) it keeps showing the latest sentence.
If anyone understands what I'm saying, that's pretty good
So, my point: Is there a way to fix this? so that it displays the subtitles only in dialogs and not all the time?
Sorry for noobish question
PS: I use the default player (since it's playing everything and has some neat features like brightness, sub delay etc)

I had some issues as well but MoboPlayer and Rockplayer solved it for me, maybe you want to look in to those apps instead of the default

I see...If you the issue where subtitles show up as symbols, it's not the players fault! just change the encoding in the subs from "ANSI" to "Unicode"
Other than that, playback is awesome! really! that's why I'm asking!!!!

Hi, Kostask11, apparently there are very few that have this problem. I have it myself even with english-only subtitles. Specifically, the subtitles are in .srt format (tried .sub as well, but no improvement), ANSI-encoded (tried, for the fun of it, Unicode as well, but nothing), and as far as I know there is nothing wrong with the files themselves (extracted directly from the DVD).
It seems as if the media player cannot read the end-times for each text-line. I am using rooted 2.3.3 firmware at the moment, but had the same problem from the very beginning with the stock firmware, and I wonder if this were resolved in 2.3.4. Can anyone using 2.3.3 test their media player to verify that everything is ok?? I find it hard to believe that there could be only 3-4 people with this problem.
PS: I never needed to change the encoding to Unicode, in order to play Greek subtitles, btw. The were displayed correctly no errors whatsoever beside the end-timing one...
PS2: BTW, I am aware of the irony that the only ones in this board with such a problem are both Greeks, however since the subtitles in my case are English-only, and the phone was purchased outside of Greece, I cannot see there being a connection with the common "localisation" (even changed the locale to UK-English. Nothing, of course...).

I updated to the latest firmware,yet no change visible :-( i got used to it,but i still want it fixed.
Thanks for answering Alchemius
I don't know.maybe i'll contact samsung and see what they'll have to say about this.

I have the very same problem.
This is not related with the subtitle language, with 2.2.1 the subtitling was working properly, the sentences were displayed and removed.
Now the senteces are removed only by the next sentence, it means that if you have 2 sentences separeted by 3 minutes, you will see the first sentence for the whole 3 minutes until the next sentence is displayed.
I don't belive that no one (the developers) did not detect this!!

same here pal! we should point it to someone!!! any ideas?

Contact Samsung or use a different media player.

Solved!
I installed (I9000XWJVB ## 512.PIT 2.3.3 2011 April 8 CSC = I9000XEEJV3)

You installed a Samsung Galaxy S PIT/CSC and it somehow solved your Samsung Galaxy S II problem?

No, I installed 2.3.3 - I9000XWJVB from 2011 April 8 with CSC = I9000XEEJV3
This one solves the subtitle problem.

I did contact Samsung, and the reason I didn't say anything was that I got the same old answer: Contact via telephone at 800 ... etc etc and when I emailed them again, I didn't get an answer.
Plus, my dear friend lixogranel if it was fixed at 2.3.3 shouldn't that be fixed at 2.3.5 as well? (latest firmware?)

I can't tell if you're trolling or slow. This is a Samsung Galaxy S II forum, I9100.

I dont know if it was not working before 2.3.3.
I know that with 2.2.1 it was working fine, I updated to 2.3.5 and found the problem, downgraded to 2.3.4 same problem, tried that one and is working

Sorry, I didnt noticed this was SGS II section.
I only checked for the problem since it was exactly the same i was experiencing

Thanks for answering, φίλε μου!
the problem is on the default player, mine does not occur during playback with other players.
Also, haven't tried it on the mhl cable, but I'm pretty sure it would happen again, hence the mhl cable mirrors the display!
Anyways, thanks for trying to find a solution

General problem with WM devices. Try fring, they somehow managed to reroute the sound from the back to the front speaker. works quite well actually.

Thanks! It works well, the only disadvantage is that you cannot change the volume of the ringtone.
Skype with S740
Skype does work very well on S740 (using Skype 2.5) but i'm forced to use the HEATSET!!!
But got a new problem after installing Real Dice Poker:The Skype notificationflag doesn't show anymore on my homescreen titlebar
I already tried to Hard Reset my S740 but even that did not help.
(Flag does show after entering "Recent Programs" in titlebar)
Any ideas what i should do to get back that systemicon on my homescreen?

Does bbc iplayer radio (flash) work?

Hey,
I'm wondering if the hero can play radio content from bbc iplayer website? I've heard that there are performance issues with videos on iplayer, but is radio OK?
(By the way, I know about the beebplayer app, which is great for video, but AFAIK doesn't play radio shows from iplayer, the only radio it had on the version I looked at is live radio. So I'm asking about listening to iplayer radio shows using the iplayer website.)
If anyone in the UK want's to try this out for me that'd be great. Here's a link to a radio show from yesterday, so if this works hopefully everything will:
bbc.co.uk/iplayer/console/b00s35z1
(I'm a new user so can't post links, that should have a "www" at the start of it really.)
Oooh, also, could someone check out whether this works on the hero:
news.bbc.co.uk/today/hi/today/newsid_8633000/8633988.stm
It's another clip of radio from the bbc, but looks completely different from iplayer, so could be using a different tech for all I know. (This is how they include audio clips in their news articles, including on the Today program's site where they have all the interview from each show listenable individually, which is pretty handy.)
Thanks!
Paul
Tried listening to 1xtra from the iplayer website yesterday,... No sound played.
Trying your links now though,... give me a few minutes.
I have just tried your first link in the stock browser.
Results are as follows:
- loading
- loading seems to freeze
- loading again
- loaded details of show (no sound yet)
- seems as though its trying to play but keeps refreshing its little window
Error - "Insufficient bandwidth to play"
This could be as I only have 2 bar 3g or following BBC's guidance you need wifi connection.
It looks like it wants to work though so if someone can test with a wifi connection.....
Nope,... Im trying with wi-fi,... No luck though. The 1st link loads up correctly, says its playing, but there is no sound and the time counter does not change.
Was the same using my data connection yesterday.
I'll try the 2nd one now,.... Dont get your hopes up.
Nope,.... Sorry,... Its a no go.
Just keeps loading, and loading,.... and loading!!!!
EDIT,....... Tried with Opera and says need to install Flash player,.... DAMIT!!!! All i want to do is listen to 1xtra,... and BeebPlayer doesn't work for me. Maybe we'l get a better browser with 2.1,.... or we'll have to hold out for Skyfire to be released.
That sucks. Thanks for trying though, and for the very speedy replies
beebplayer app now supports radio! only in the last few days though. oh and you will need the new version.

Media Hub Opens but won't PLAY rented or bought films/tv shows?

Hey everyone-
I don't believe this question has been posted before, I did do a quick search before posting so don't shoot me, lol. Anyway, I downloaded the APK for the media hub from the JI2 update, and I currently have Eugene373's daily driver rom installed. The previews work and everything, but when I rented a movie, the Blues Brothers, and I try to play it I get an error message saying: "Your device does not support the requested file format." If anyone can help me I'd be much ablidged, thanks.

I RENTED a movie so I believe it works differently. I know if you buy a movie it can few viewed offline so maybe it works differently.
Ok so this is really weird, I opened the video through the stock video player and It showed the time length of the movie but not video or audio
do you have voodoo kernel installed? I read in the voodoo thread that some videos wouldn't play on voodoo kernel wheras they would on stock kernels.
I installed the whole JI2 and the hub player worked fine, bought Iran Man and watched the whole thing. Did take around an hour or two download. Try playing while connected to WI-Fi I kind of remember that you need to do that for the first minute or so. Otherwise Sorry
Where are these files stored? Is there a specific folder?
I'm having the same problem. Maybe its because its not made for the vibrant. I've tried other video players frome the app store and got nothing. They all want to play off the sd card and the movie is only on the media hub app.

Though this is merely an educated guess (as really I have no clue, and no desire to pay for DRM-ware just to check), but it's likely there are at least a few system integrity checks built into the playback capabilities of video downloaded via MediaHub in an attempt to thwart hacks.
Remember, Samsung has a vested self interest in making MediaHub a closed system, and this may include their app doing enough integrity checks to say "no way Jose" when running this app on a non-standard rom. Granted, I have no way of knowing for certain if this is indeed the case, but it wouldn't suprise me if it was.
This is generally how DRM laden systems work.

[Q] No Bluetooth headphone audio on ROM 4.1.2 - 4.2 JellyBam - 20121110

Hi, I can't post in a developer's forum yet so therefore can't ask if this has been sorted yet but HEY! Does anyone know if this can or will be sorted soon? I don't post much in these forums, mainly because the answers are already somewhere, but I'm not new to android/changing ROMs.
I simply need the phone to connect with bluetooth and stream music when I'm in my car. I use this every day but the last working version of the Jellybam ROM was 2012-11-05. Since then the bluetooth won't stream the music. Phone works fine and the connection is okay but no sound. I've no doubt that if this was a headphone set it wouldn't work either.
Someone posted their 'fix' which I tried and got no connection at all so I re-installed 20121105 :crying:
I like the ROM, it has everything else that I want and it seems fast and I wonder why this change was made?
Anyway, any ideas, please reply

Hmm, can you please explain that it's not a ROM problem but that all Jellybean ROMS have this issue. I think that an issue is a problem and Jellybean ROMs have this problem which isn't being sorted. I'll go back to my original point that the version released on 5th November didn't have a Bluetooth issue but all subsequent versions do - why and is it going to be rectified?

Xperia P video problem

Hi guys a found a very annoying problem when i upgraded my devices (Xperia P) firmware to Android 4.1.2 Build number: 6.2.A.1.00
The problem is that when i play embbeded videos and go full screen there was no control bar anymore. The pause/play and the seek
bar was also removed. Before the update everything worked perfectly then. I have tried using different browsers like chrome dolphin and even
the stock
How to produce issue
1. Go to a site (any site even Youtube!) with a video
2. hit the fullscreen button
There was this guy who reported it to sony but he also did not get any answers ( Sony said that it was the websites fault). talk.sonymobile.com/thread/143065?tstart=0 These are the pics from him:
