Re: How to override DVD player's subtitle setting

Luis,

You cannot alter SPRMs but you can alter and check GPRMs.

Do they have to be able to set sub/angle from the remote?
Or only from the menu?
Setting your own Sub/angle default with scripting will override any player default.

If you aren't familiar with scripting this can be a lot to try and understand.

If you only want them to be able to change sub/angle from the menu(as opposed to the button on the remote)You will need three scripts that set the subtitle and angle to the proper selection.
English button is pushed and runs script that adds a 1 to GPRM 0
French adds a 2 to GPRM 0
Spanish adds a 3 to GPRM 0

You will need a prescript(with 3 lines) for your track that checks the value of GPRM 0 and sets the Sub/angle according to the value of GPRM 0. something like
Set System stream st(1English)An(1English) if (GPRM 0=1)

Do the same for French(2) and Spanish(3)

When play is selected the prescript will run and if GPRM 0 doesn't equal 1 then it goes to the second line. If the GPRM doesn't =2 it goes to the third line. Whatever value is in the GPRM will turn on the correct ST/angle and leave it on.

Since the GPRM value only changes from the Sub/Angle selection menu the GPRM will always have the value of the of the last sub/angle selected no matter where the user comes from.

If you want a particular lang default when the disk is put in you could add a prescript to your main menu that moves a value of " " to GPRM 0 so that if they don't select a lang it will still recognize your default via the prescript of the track.

You must assign your prescripts to the corresponding track or they will not work. For menus this is done in the advanced tab. Assign jumps to the bracketed name at the top of the pull downs that come up.
This ensures that the prescript is run 1st.
