Pause at the end of secondary subtitles about memento

[ripose-jp]

I'll be honest, I don't like this feature and my opinions on the auto pause feature have been mixed since its inception. Essentially I don't want auto pause implemented by Memento since it can be implemented well by an mpv script, several of which exist. Implementing it in Memento is just maintenance baggage. The feature never worked reliably in my limited experience with it anyway.

Secondary subtitles seem even more useless in my opinion. I'd recommend using the , . keys to step forwards and backwards frame by frame if secondary subtitles aren't visible when you need them.

Edit: I saw that you were contributing to the mpv code earlier this year to be able to adjust the delay of secondary subtitles independently to the main subtitles. Has this feature been added?

If the pull request is still open, no. I doubt anything will happen with that unless I start bugging mpv devs in IRC. I'll get around to it eventually.

Yes! Seeking by frame solves this for me. Thanks for asking.

I understand your concerns. Although I must say that the auto pause has worked wonderfully for me and it's very useful as a beginner having to pause after every sentence. Just that little detail of the secondary subtitles sometimes not being caught by the pause. Thanks for the suggestion regarding adjusting the frame, it does the trick.

I'm not contesting that auto pause is a useful feature. I'm just saying it's bad idea to implement it in C++.

As for this feature request, would you say that seeking by frame makes this feature request redundant? I just want to know whether or not to close it.
