Strange file not found error

[brooklyn097]

Hi, This error caused if i do the conversion in any folder but not /root

• Test 1: I run: cd /tmp; then run: vobsub2srt eng2 it will throw error message like this:

  VobSub: Can't open IDX file
  fopen Vobsub file failed: No such file or directory
  VobSub: Can't open SUB file
  Couldn't open VobSub files 'eng2.idx/.sub'

  And i'm sure that in /tmp folder, the file named eng2.idx and eng2.sub are existing.

• Test 2: I cd back to /root by command: cd /root; then run vobsub2srt /tmp/eng2 It will throw them same error above.

• Test 3: I move eng2.idx and eng2.sub into /root folder then i run vobsub2srt /root/eng2 or cd /root; vobsub2srt eng2; the conversion will be processed without problem.

So i think it's only work if the .idx and .sub file placed in /root folder. Is this a bug?

I'm having the exact same problem. The following files exist:

video.idx
video.sub

Error message:

$ vobsub2srt --verbose video

    VobSub: Can't open IDX file
    fopen Vobsub file failed: No such file or directory
    VobSub: Can't open SUB file
    Couldn't open VobSub files 'video.idx/.sub'

My C++ is not great, but looking through the code:

• /src/vobsub2srt.c++ calls the function vobsub_open, which exists in /mplayer/vobsub.c
• Based on the first line of output, the code gets to this line, suggesting that the IDX file isn't getting read in properly, but I don't know why.
• Then, based on the second line of output, we get to this line in /mplayer/vobsub.c
• When the mpeg_open function gets called, we get some sort of error, but I'm not sure what.

But, even after tracking all of this down, I have no idea why we get errors when the IDX/SUB files exist anywhere but the /root/ directory. It makes no sense to me.

Same problem here, running on a Raspberry Pi 4. I didn't try to cp the files to /root to test it.
