[SubJunk]

General:

Please download it from the front page.


Changelog:

• Backwards-incompatible API changes (for plugin developers/packagers) - see http://tinyurl.com/3hbqv4l for more details
• Updated OS X binaries (FFmpeg, MEncoder and MPlayer) to fix an AC3 bug and improve internal VOBsub display quality
• Optional GUI to allow profile to be selected when PMS starts
• Better UPnP spec compliance
• Logging improvements
• ASS/SSA subtitles disabled by default on Linux and OS X
• Multithreaded MEncoder enabled by default on multithreaded CPUs
• Subtitles stay within confines of original frame when using overscan compensation
• Made transcoding tab resizing consistent for all sizes
• Fixed DTS audio support with FFmpeg
• MEncoder supports DTS-ES (6.1 channels) audio
• Handles unknown audio channels
• Change maximum number of plugins to 30 from 4
• Improved MP4 support
• New Korean translation (thanks, mrahn80)
• Fixed bug where config sometimes wouldn't save on Windows 7

Upgrade Notes:

For 1.23.0 and above:

• Just uninstall the older version and install newer one

For versions prior to 1.23.0:

• To retain your old settings you may have to copy your old config file/s to a new directory.
  To find out where the new directory is on your computer, run the program and go to the Traces tab and look on the 14th line, the line that says "Profile directory:", that is the folder your config files should be saved now.
• If you use the "media library / cache" option you should reset it.

Thanks:

chocolateboy, taconaut, tomeko, Redlum, Raptor399, mrahn80 and others that my sleep-deprived mind is missing

Why ?

i dont think they work so its disabled instead.

Yeah like mazey said.
They don't work on OS X and unless a Linux user has gone to the trouble of using a very old build of MEncoder they don't work on there either, so it makes sense to start it disabled and people can enable it if they have their own old builds

Ahh ok, for me, just embedded subtitles on mkv files seem to work on linux....

How old the mencoder build has to be ? also, if I downgrade to an old build, which features on PS3 media server could I loose ?
