[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1280035, member: 141969"] I had another go at this. :) I have noticed that with DVB subtitles, when subtitles are enabled via the Context menu whilst watching live TV or a recording, it takes several seconds before the subtitles start appearing. Possibly TV Server has to wait for a "key frame" to occur in the datastream before it can enable the subtitles. The sample that you provided (20 seconds) may be too short to enable subtitles and then wait for a key frame. So I decided the enable the option in "MP Config" that starts showing subtitles as soon as the video starts. Well... "Closed caption" subtitles still don't work. But then I decided to try instead "teletext subtitles", and they [i]do[/i] work. However... As you have found, the text is always white, and there is no blanked area behind the subtitles to make them easier to read. There is an option in the "Video Subtitles" section to specify an opaque box behind the subtitles (it is deselected by default). I tried that, but it has no effect. :( If subtitles are really important to you (perhaps because you are hard of hearing), you may need to consider a different solution for your TV-watching and TV-recording requirements. :( -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
