SMI style tags are displayed as is

[trustin]

Built from master. Debian 7.

I'm not exactly sure since when, but MPV started to display the style tags such as <FONT COLOR=...> in .SMI subtitle files as is rather than stripping them away or applying styles correctly.

Works with a sample file I have (in fact the sample file which is used by ffmpeg to test this functionality).

Can you upload a non-working .smi file?

Actually, before you do this, against which ffmpeg version is mpv linked?

I built ffmpeg from ffmpeg master. What branch would you recommend instead?

[trustin]

As a workaround, I used this script to convert .smi to .ass:

ffmpeg master is fine.

Still, mpv could be possibly linked or configured against another version, so either look at the pmp log for the version, or run mpv CLI without argument.

A sample would still be appreciated. You also can check if this is a ffmpeg issue with ffmpeg -i file.smi out.ass.

Guess we’re not getting a sample.
