According to the dragonplayer info page, dragonplayer should automatically load subtitles that have the same file name as the video. Ive never actually been able to get this to work though. Is this feature not yet implemented or am I doing something wrong?

It could be that the subtitles are disabled? Which version of Dragonplayer do you use? I have version 2.0 here and it works just fine with the phonon-backend-vlc 0.5.0

Im running Dragonplayer 2.0 as well. How do I enable/dis-enable subtitles? The subtitle menu option is always grayed out so I cant see any of the options....

Okay, got it to work with the vlc backend. Subtitles should work by default....

Thanks for the vlc backend suggestion.

Well, tell that the gstreamer people, there is not much we can do about that, sorry.

After a restart, I lost audio output with the vlc backend. I run a HDMI cable to my tv and had video but no sound. Tried every output option in the Phonon settings menu but no luck. So Im back with the gstreamer backend and my hopes to have one video player instead of four have been crushed.

Did you check in KMix to see if the volume of the output(s) was set correctly?
Also, did you use the Phonon "play" function to test the devices or something else?

Yeah, Kmix shows volume at max for everything. I tested all the output options using the test function in Phonon but it would only output through the headphone jack on my case. Using the gstreamer backend, one of the HDMI output options outputs sound to the tv.

If you use VLC itself directly, does that have any impact?
Also, does your system use Pulseaudio?

VLC works sometimes, but sometimes I have audio problems. I dont use Pulseaudio...

You really want PulseAudio for sane HDMI experience.

The problem there is that some programs I run in Wine dont like pulseaudio. Thats why I ditched it in the first place. Ill play around with it and see if adding a pulseaudio kill command in the wine launchers works.

You should be able to use pasuspender to temporarily suspend Pulseaudio.

Reinstalled pulseaudio and now HDMI audio is working fine, but audio in Wine is completely borked. Where do I get pasuspender from? Its not in the repos and cant find anywhere to download it from....

EDIT: Nevermind...didnt realize pasuspender was already installed on my system. I need more coffee....

Okay, finally got this worked out. I no longer have to uninstall pulseaudio to get wine to work! Key was adding wine repos and updating to Wine 1.4 and then using pasuspender when running wine programs. Audio works everywhere and I can use Dragon Player for everything now!
