I find it very difficult to find anything on GitHub. I think that this is the 32-bit build, but this link may not be accessible to you if you don't sign in to GitHub (it is free to create an account on GitHub)...

I downloaded the GitHub build , this one: "MediaPortalSetup_x64_1.39.000_2026-10-29-20-06.exe" It installed without problem. (y) I am pleased to report that the subtitle problem with the test file is now fixed. (y) :) I did notice one oddity, which may be a quirk of my system. When stopping...

When I tested this yesterday, it became apparent that it is the TeleText setting that enables the subtitles in the test file, and not the DVB setting. Internally they might be treated the same (or in a very similar fashion), with only minor differences. -- from CyberSimian in the UK

I have that set to Disabled, but I still see subtitles for the test file located in "Videos". I think that for certain files (TS files, but perhaps others too), the player must decide to use the settings in the TV section of "MP Config", and not the settings in the "Video" section. -- from...

Varying the subtitle settings shows that the file contains Teletext subtitles, and not DVB subtitles. -- from CyberSimian in the UK

I have now tried VLC, and agree that there are subtitle lines missing from the MP screens. :( Do you know whether the subtitles are DVB or Teletext? -- from CyberSimian in the UK

I also created a placeholder xml file using another recording as a model, but "TV Server Config" would not list it on the "Import" tab, so not possible to add it to the database. However... The test file will play successfully from the "Videos" section, complete with subtitles (if you select...

Thank you -- setting the language has made the subtitles appear (in the first TS file that you uploaded). This is the setting: Having watched the file with subtitles enabled, I don't think that there is anything wrong with the placement of the subtitles. I think that the position of each...

I downloaded your sample TV file and tried to get the subtitles to appear, but without success. :( I enabled all forms of subtitles in "MP Config". Subtitles appear for recorded TV residing in the "Recorded TV" folder. Subtitles appear for recorded TV residing in the "Videos" folder. Subtitles...

Puzzling. :confused: If you have a working system that you are content to use going forward, then I would suggest that you stay with that. On the other hand, if you don't have a working system, you need to provide some logs. So: Enable DEBUG logging in "MP Config". Enable DEBUG logging in "TV...

@harryzwo : Since the volume error occurs before the DVD error, it makes sense to try to fix the volume error first, just in case it is that error that is causing the DVD error. Do you have an unusual setup for the audio from the HTPC? There are these ways of getting audio from the HTPC: HDMI...

Older releases of MP used MySQL, but recent releases use MariaDB on Windows 10 and 11. The MP installer will download and install MariaDB during the installation process. And you should not need to do anything special, such as entering a password in order to access the database -- it all just...

This reminded me of a problem that I encountered with my "Clarity" skin. I found these notes in an xml file: Note: we cannot use a VISIBLE tag on this control as it prevents StackLayout() removing the gaps when buttons are omitted. This statement is based solely on observation, and so may not...

I use DVB-T in the UK, and although the subtitles usually display near the bottom of the screen, they do occasionally appear elsewhere. I think that this occurs when there is something important on screen that the subtitle authors don't want to obscure, or there is dialogue in quick succession...

An aerial amplifier can boost only the signal that it receives as input. If the signal already has drop-outs caused by atmospheric conditions corrupting the signal, the aerial amplifier cannot correct those drop-outs. If the extent of the drop-outs exceeds the error-correction capability of the...
