Could you send a sample?

[smplayer-dev]

It doesn't seem supported by mpv:

No sub streams in file af343964d7-textstream_eng=1000.mp4.
Can not open external file af343964d7-textstream_eng=1000.mp4.

[3052]

are you saying that SmPlayer is just a front end for MPV?

[smplayer-dev]

Yes.

[3052]

is that documented? I don't see a single mention of MPV here:

https://github.com/smplayer-dev/smplayer

[smplayer-dev]

The website mentions it https://www.smplayer.info It's also in the about dialog.

The website mentions it https://www.smplayer.info/

uh, where? I just checked and I dont see a single mention of it

[smplayer-dev]

"Now SMPlayer supports mpv as well" which links to https://www.smplayer.info/en/mpv

I think it should be WAY more obvious that SmPlayer is just a frontend for MPV. that info should be included on one or both of these pages:

You probably feel that way because you don't know SMPlayer long enough. MPV is a branch/successor of "mplayer", which SMPlayer was a front-end for (and afaik SMPlayer still supports mplayer as backend instead of mpv). There were other frontends with similar names like KMPlayer, for example. You don't need to write a note anywhere when the name of the software itself indicates that it's a frontend to a widely known command line player.

idiotic comment. the name of the software is SmPlayer, nothing about that indicates an association wth MPV, unless you already know the history.

just because you know the full lineage of SmPlayer, doesnt mean anyone else does, nor should they.
