It should disappear after 2,5 seconds.

I mean, Kaffeine receives the list of audio and subtitles when it starts playing. So, in thesis, it would be possible to add some logic that would try to use the preferred language. The hardest part would be to define an interface for the user to input what languages it prefers and if he prefers original audio or not. There is a problem, though: it will be just a hint, as language support is limited to some input sources and may either be written as free text or an ISO code. For Digital TV, Kaffeine uses the ISO code, parsed directly from the video stream, with is very reliable (if the operator fills it - some just write things like ORG and NAR, with are not really language codes), but for other sources like DVD, it will receive just a string from libVlc, parsed using some other logic. So, the same language will have different names, depending on the source and on the media. Having a logic that would recognize different patterns and also include language variants (like US and UK English) would likely require several tests with different medias and a lot of time to get it right. So, I don't think it is worth implementing it (and I probably won't have anytime soon to code it). Anyway, if you want this feature so badly, feel free to implement it and submit us patches. As I said, the code changes wouldn't probably be hard. The major issue is to define a good interface for asking it to the user and to work and test an heuristics logic that will try to match the language with a string that won't be using ISO language codes. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
