Help needed with DVB subtitles

[SciDoctor]

The sync problem mentioned earlier in this thread doesn't appear when playing back recorded files in MP or VLC.

It only appears when the timeshift is at 'live' in MP.

If you are 5 seconds behind 'live' then there is no problem.

This problem may be more to do with the MP code than the subs code.

It's odd that I didn't see similar timing issue when I yesterday tested live tv (subtitles were presented at correct times in both cases, when running at the live point and when running behind the live point).

Could anyone explain how to install DVBSub.ax. I use TVEngine3 and Mediaportal single seat. I'm not a developer just an interested user that missing subtitles badly.

Kind regard.

Installing the filter:
1) unzip both .ax files to MP folder.
2) regsrv32 DVBSub_debug.ax (if some debug DLLs is missing from your system then use the DVBSub_release.ax)
3) put following setting in the MediaPortal.xml in MyTv section

<entry name="dvbsubtitles">yes</entry>

Thanks.. would that mean that i have to install the DVBSub_test_01.zip first and then DVBSub_test_04?

It's enough just to install the latest version of the DVBSub.ax.

Just a note for users not so familiar with Windows tools: there's a little typo there, program is actually regsvr32 not regsrv32 plus filter is DVBSub.ax on latest releases(this one everyone should have figured out). So you actually should write:

regsvr32 DVBSub.ax

to register the filter.

I manage to get the subtitles filter to work, and here is my experience from a live tv-movie I watch.

In live tv, the subtitles is behind the speech, but if I pause for a few seconds and then press forward to the end of timeshift, the subtitles has perfect timing.

Subtitles is not working in timeshifting.

In recordings the subtitles is also perfect.

Thanks for the help.

Thanks for correcting those, I didn't notice those when I just copied that information.

An issue I haven't seen mentioned, is that if I pause and resume playback I loose subtitles. This happens for both recordings and timeshifted TV. Performing a search (e.g. back 15 s) makes the subs reappear.
