When I compare a broadcast shown on our "normal" Sony DVB-T TV, the subtitle timing is way better than in MediaPortal. Generally, my subtitles in MediaPortal are shown a bit too early, and a bit to short. So, they show on screen before people actually talks, and ends before they are done talking. It's a bit annoying when you notice it :) I don't see any way of configuring any delay in MediaPortal (the delay controls in the GUI doesn't do anything, right?) so it must be a filter problem. There are actually two problems: 1. Our H.264 broadcasts show subtitles too early and too short 2. On one of our MPEG2 broadcasts, the subtitles "hangs" until a new set is shown. <-- This is a minor problem. The logs I have attached were from when I watched a short part of the movie "I Spy", (H.264, MPEG4) from which I also recorded 4½ minutes in TS-format, that is available for download from: [URL="http://cm3.dk/I Spy - DR HD - 2011-10-01.ts"]http://cm3.dk/I Spy - DR HD - 2011-10-01.ts[/URL] The recording plays fine in VLC Media Player, when I enable subtitles (DVB Subtitles - [Dansk]) they arrive at perfect timing and stays as long as they should. Please ignore the "bad data" or "bad signal" thing in the beginning, my recording hard-drive had to spin up from sleep, so MediaPortal got stuck for a few seconds. Hope you can help. I can't really mess with the DVBSub-filter, as it is in C++ and I don't know anything about C++ ;) :thx: [/QUOTE]
