Hi vb6rocod,

First of all greetings from Czech republic. And now my questions:

1) Would it be possible to add support for white subtitles outlined with black and without grey background? (CP-1250)

2) And it is possible with current firmware to move subtitle area to the lower part of picture? I suppose that it is not possible to move subtitles under the picture (with wide-angle movies). Am I right?

Thank you for your answers and especially thank you for your great job with 5990 firmware improvements.

Where is option for changing subtitle colors ? I couldnt find that...
I'm using 1250 version (http://rapidshare.com/files/140620009/DVP5990_12_vb6_v3.rar.html ) on my 9550/12...

In "General Page" after "DivX Subtitle" is a menu name "Colour" with two option "Default" - white subtitle and "Cool" - yellow subtitle. After update, go to setup and change font to activate "outline" for subtitle.

Thanx for a fast answer ! modded firmware looks very good, no problems noticed...
I wish a bit more comfortable browser window, meaning there are just 3 or 4 files to see and then you have to scroll already in order to see the rest of files/folders... Is there a way to make smaller fonts in browser window or just to put them closer one to another so that you can have at least 6-7 files/folders per page to see ?

I try to make with 6 files but no success, space is used now for 3 MP3 TAG and jpeg preview.
Also, you can use "prev" and "next" buttons as "Page Up" and "Page Down".

If you have 5990_12 or 5990_05 is OK.

[petar_]

Thank You vb6rocod.

I've done with CP1251 v.3 it' very nice.
I want to ask you something:
When i used old FW (original) the subs were on all screen ( in ZOOM 1 mode), in this (yours) FW
the subs cut off a piece from them.
Could you resolve this?

many thanks again!

[medeni73]

Thanx vb6rocod for your time and knowledge. I just saw that you released new version for 5990/37. Are these changes coming to 5990/12 version too ?

P.S. - You should maybe put the newest version-link into your first message on first page, so that way people will always know which version is the latest and where to find it. Keep up with good work !

I don't understand what you want to say, but subtitles are now in a very good position, other user can confirm this.

5990_12 has already 2 color for subtitles.
I will add "new filecutter" and fix "Display" problem. Also I understand that are some problem with language (Polski)
I can't add link in first message, so you always search for last....

[petar_]

Yes great work vb6rocod!

It's my mistake friend, position of subs are in very good position.

Apologize. My TV has got a lot of settings.

[vb6rocod]

Update:
* New "File Cutter", number of character in FileBrowser is limit now to length of "yellow" band.(More than 40 char.)
* Fix "Display" "Folder/Single/Repeat" , change color to white, now is visible.
* Change OSD font, fix Language problem.

It is possible to change some remote control button (usual Repeat and Repeat AB) to VOL + and VOL - .I make this for other Philips player.

[jleinonen]

I installed this newest firmware to 5990_12 and then applied region free hack. It plays divx fine, but dvd menu option and some other preferences doesn't work corretly.

1. Even though selected, dvd always starts right away without showing menu or first language selection.
2. Audio preference is despite otherwise selected always English. I'm not 100% sure but also subtitles preference is not working.

[stapani]

Yep

Thanx for modded firmware , works very nice here....
Any chance to get rid of that 1 second break when changing vob
in USB-mode? Well, this might not be firmware thing.........
I made 1 fast test :
Seems like USB-mode can play media player files (they`re just vob-files
without iso & udf structure).
Great, now I can build 1 big seamless vobfile without that break,
too sad fat32 limits that feature...

Yes, seems that IFO files from DVD overrides your preference...., that's a common problem for all player.

Thanks. Great work vb6rocod!

Hi, there!

I plan to buy an Philips 5990 /12 in Europe/Austria. This patch is suited for that release, isn't it? I read, that the original firmware makes the DIVX subtitles unreadable. Should this patch give more options to that? And the last question is: how do you update to this firmware? Any link to description?

Thanks

[vb6rocod]

Update:
Full color for subtitles (outline, text and background)
16 levels (4px/step) for vertical position.
"Load Original subtitle, if not, load all"
New OSD font with outline for better contrast.
Some picture:
FileBrowser and setup

Vertical position: Level1 and Level 16


For CP 1250,1251,1252,1253,1254

Great firmware, thank you!

Is it possible to "go to" a specific time in movie when playing .avi files?

[vb6rocod]

Don't you see in picture ????

Simple, push "title" button 2 times and enter "h:mms".....

[JohnMay]

Hi,

terrific firmware! I really like the feature to directly start the movie. It was absolutely anoying to always wait (if "Next" was blocked) until finally the menu screen showed up and then you most of the time had to wait again since they take ages to finish. So again: Thanks very very much!

One thing though: I have a couple of DVD's (for example: Replicant) where the german subtitle are shown mandatory. You can nevertheless go into Setup and see possible other subtitels (including "None") but if you choose it, it will be ignored.
The feature with showing subtitles as transparent seems to work only in DivX movies.
Do I miss something? It would be perfect if a switch to "None" with the mandatory subtitles would also work. I checked if they can be removed with a normal Encrypter program and it was no problem there, so they are not "imprinted" in the movie itself.
Can you do some more of your magic?

Best Regards!
