Broken support of SubStation Alpha subtitles (SSA / ASS)
The support for SubStation Alpha subtitles (SSA / ASS) seems to have been broken about a year ago and is still broken over 2.2.x official releases: (tested on macOS)
-
up to version 2.2.4 (2-Jun-2016) it was perfectly working.
-
It seem broken in each of those stable branch versions available from http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/macosx-intel/ :
vlc-2.2.5-20160718-1406.dmg (21-Jul-2016 13:59),
vlc-2.2.5.1-20170511-0553.dmg (11-May-2017 06:05),
vlc-2.2.6.dmg (01-Jun-2017 06:05),
vlc-2.2.7.dmg (14-Sep-2017 06:05).
- nevertheless it appears to be restored in nightly build of future version 3.0.0 : vlc-3.0.0-20171030-0400-git.dmg (30-Oct-2017)
Is it possible to restore support for SubStation Alpha subtitles in current stable branch 2.2.x?
Here can be found samples of those subtitles files : https://wiki.multimedia.cx/index.php/SubStation_Alpha
The two samples attached to this ticket are from the above page (with slight changes to have the subtitles appear in the first 15 seconds of video). Regards.

This is a duplicate of #18583 (closed), and the issue is fixed already on the 2.2.x branch.
added Status::duplicate label
OK, my mistake, I tried to dig into existing report without finding this one. Sorry.
Nice to see in #18583 (closed) that a fix has been committed 8 days ago, and hoping to see it release soon (in replacement of stable 2.2.7 not yet released in stable channel but available as stated above?).
