#26 Can't save: "Value cannot be null. Parameter name: encoding.

Lefteris Aslanoglou — Mon, 23 May 2022 00:05:34 -0000

10 years too late, but I took a look at this project once again, and the crash on save happens if you haven't opened a file in the application run (i.e. you're trying to save a file you created from scratch without having opened a different file at any point since starting the application).

The only workaround is to open a different SRT file first, and then go to File > New to start working.

That said, since I no longer have admin rights to the SF project or the website, I quickly re-published it here, and fixed a couple of bugs, including this one:

I get this bug when trying to save and cannot save my work either in srt or txt format, I've been working for 2-3 hours and can't save at all!! Here are the details offered with the error message box. Clicking on continue returns me to the program.

Adding custom delay causes crash

Skott Gavin — Fri, 27 Mar 2009 20:03:50 -0000

Adding constant delay of 35200 or -35200 (ms) causes the program to freeze: dialog box only half disappears, then hourglass for mouse pointer, ad infinitum.

(What I want to do is re-sync a subtitle file where I think the sub timings are correct in terms of duration of and between subs, but start too late for the specified video. i.e. not have to manually re-edit every individual sub timing)

V. 0.1.2 (Revision 39) - keyboard shortcut not working

avi — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 11:14:07 -0000

in the new public release, the pause shortcut in the video menu is Ctrl+S, however, Ctrl+P stops the video (in addition to starting it) and Ctrl+S does nothing.

090127 Nightly - Constant Delay on Preview doesn't work

Lefteris Aslanoglou — Fri, 30 Jan 2009 19:25:46 -0000

Setting a constant delay on Preview Settings doesn't shift the subtitle preview, making the feature not working at all. I guess when changing the subtitle preview code I forgot to check for that feature. I'll be working on fixing that on Sunday when I'm back home. Until then you'll have to apply the delay to the subtitles using the Edit menu and then previewing again.

build 090119 - Open new video while playing

Brendan — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 09:48:02 -0000

When a new video is opened while another video is playing, the play button still shows a pause sign. This issue fixes itself after the play button is pressed once after the new video is opened

build 090119 - sliderbar seek takes time

Brendan — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 11:17:25 -0000

When using the sliderbar to navigate across different points in a video the player seems to need time to 'travel' (rapidly displays frames between the jump as if fastforwading) to the frame being jumped to. This delay is directly proportional to the 'distance' jumped, such that to jump 20 minutes of footage took the player roughly 7 seconds to 'get there'.

build 090119 - First startup

Brendan — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 10:55:51 -0000

Upon opening for the first time "The translated file you've chosen (English.sel) is incomplete or corrupted" after which it then loads the english version of the interface. Opening OSE afterwards does not show this error.

build 090119 - Misspelling in dialog

Brendan — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 10:49:52 -0000

Sorry if this one is a bit minor to mention. Upon opening build 0.1.1.33 the message "The translated file you've chosen (Egnlish.sel) is incomplete or corrupted". Shouldn't it be "The translation file"?
