Ruin the one objectively good thing about my job??

Hey me too!

Hi, sorry to ask - were you able to figure anything out with this?

What does it mean?

I think I resolved it! What vainfo didn’t tell me is that while it supports MPEG2 and H264 decoding, it doesn’t support H/W encoding. My transcodes run fine now, though a bit slow (will probably replace with someone’s X1 from eBay…)

Is that like the media parameters? I have that here, please let me know if this isn’t the right thing!

For me it’s failed AUR comps

In pre-K I read the course storybook correctly without mistakes and I got in trouble for “memorizing the text”

The punishment? Standing next to a plastic frog for the day.

Pretty sure any distro with i3, fastfetch, feh and i3-lock does this - I can see they installed an i3-dock alternative without changing the config file though…

Is this like IDM?

Update: so apparently I’ve been using internal srt all this time 😅 but I tried it with external and this time it still didn’t work, but no errors in log. Will keep trying other fonts just in case

EDIT: Checked playback info and it mentioned the dimensions and level of the subtitle were all 0. Does that mean anything?

Okay so I tried the smallest of these (HK Thin @ almost exactly 5MB) plus a lot of smaller otfs I found elsewhere , one at a time, and while playing they all show nothing - I checked the logs just in case and I’m seeing a lot of [ERR] [30] - “MediaBrowser.MediaEncoding.Subtitles.SubtitleEditParser: 57 errors encountered while parsing ‘“srt”’ subtitle using the SubRip format parser” , with errors like: “Line # - Error reading time code”

does that mean at this point it’s not showing because the srt needs fixing?

If you don’t mind, how or where did you get an otf that small? Did you cut out characters?
