Player subtitle

[Bogdan_C]

Hello everybody!

I'm developing a python app for Boxee and I bumped into a problem with the subtitle.
The app is pretty much as follows:
- in the first window I have a button which on click runs a python script which opens a url, get a XML response, parse it with minidom then appends each entry to a List.ListItems()
- after the button is clicked a new group is shown with the items above in a panel control
- you click the items in the panel, a dialog shows where you can Play it or Read more about it.
- and of course if you choose to play it, it plays.

Over the last 2 steps I don't have any control. The problem is the following: while parsing the XML response in a for loop I do something like

item.SetPath(str(node.childNodes[21].firstChild.data))

and the path would be "http://mydomain.com/boxee/movie.avi". The movie.avi is a symlink to a non-public folder/file. If I put in the public folder boxee a subtitle for the file "movie.avi" named movie.srt the player doesn't show it.

What should I do to see also the subtitle when the movie is played?

Thanks!

To my knowledge, you can't use subtitle functionality with media pulled from the web right now.

Thanks DPK, is this still the case? I would love to be able to do this as well...

Still true unfortunately. I know they've been doing work on the api as the upcoming beta rolls around this fall, so I'd check back in a couple months.
