helios Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Hi there! I'm looking for a way to replace my htpc that runs on windows with os x86 but I have failed to find a media center application that supports subtitles. Haven't tried frontrow or backrow, are they compatible? I mainly use the HTPC to view xvid contents or browse pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarahbau Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 As far as I know, VLC is it. Luckily, it is AppleScriptable, so it would be possible to make a GUI front-end that opens files in VLC that can be controlled by a remote. I did something like this a few years ago for DVDs, but for Apple's DVD player (they're all VIDEO_TS folders). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helios Posted June 1, 2007 Author Share Posted June 1, 2007 I fixed it myself It was as simple as installing Perian 1.0 beta 4 and voila! Quicktime has subtitle support!!! so now Mediacentral and any other gui meda app has subtitle support automaticly. Now i just need a cheap compatible graphics card or a swap to a 945G motherboard and i can get rid of windows on the last computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
