No subtitles on Kodi 18.1 #865

Closed anselal closed 5 years ago

anselal commented 5 years ago

Hi there,

this is more of an info rather than an issue. After I upgraded xbian to 20190215-0 and at the same time kodi to 18.1 I noticed that my subtitles disappeared.

After a quick search I found that the fonts are set in a Font.xml file so I searched my filesystem and found 2 Font.xml files inside the following folders:

I also found the aria.ttf file inside /usr/local/share/kodi/media/Fonts/arial.ttf

Edit: I edited /usr/local/share/kodi/addons/skin.estouchy/xml/Font.xml and saw that the font name of the arial.ttf file was written with a capital A like Arial.ttf. I replaced Arial.ttf with arial.ttf, rebooted and the subtitles appeared again !!!!

@anselal Thanks for the hint. Could it be that you reported the wrong file?

/usr/local/share/kodi/addons/skin.estuary/xml/Font.xml has no Arial.ttf inside, only arial.ttf are there, but in the file /usr/local/share/kodi/addons/skin.estouchy/xml/Font.xml there are Arial.ttf names only.

So, I suppose you're using Estouchy skin, as written in header, right?

anselal commented 5 years ago

Yeah sorry for that. I will edit my previous comment.

thnx

I applied patch to /usr/local/share/kodi/addons/skin.estouchy/xml/Font.xml With next build of xbian-package-xbmc this issue should be fixed

anselal commented 5 years ago

Cool, thnx !!!

Unfortunately the fix was not permanent since the subtitles vanished again.

There seems to be a general issue with the subtitles and kodi v18.1, look at https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=337929

@mkreisl any idea how to fix this ?

mkreisl commented 5 years ago

@anselal how to fix what? I wrote that it has been fixed in sources already, and will be fixed in package after next build run. This will be happen when 18.2 becomes stable. If you don't want to wait, 18.2-RC package are available in staging repository containing that fix already

anselal commented 5 years ago

@mkreisl besides the thing with the theme there seems to be an issue with 18.1 in general, see https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=337929

Shield == Android based, but we do not have Android

Kodi 18.2 final has been built tonight. So we can close this issue now
