ffdsow subtitles v CC (1 Viewer)

[Octagon]

If I understand things correctly, ffdshow can't really change the color/size/font/etc of embedded image-based subtitles but can change those things when displaying closed captions.

First question: Is that the case?

If so, is there any trick to getting the checkbox that supposedly strips the closed caption text from the dialogue? Am I missing a setting someplace else?

Do you see closed captions when using ffdshow? What is your video source?

Hello, since this thread kinda died, and what I wish to ask about is related to it's topic, I figured that I'd ask it here rather than start a new thread.

I am new to MediaPortal. I've been a very long time Meedio user, but I've been wanting to look at something new and shiny, and with MeediOS not yet having a TV plugin, and that being my most needed feature, I thought I would give the new 1.1.0 a shot since it's a final. I've not been successful in the past with MP, having had some trouble with the TV config. Adding all those channels manually!!! Well, I've been very, very happy with it, and I'm really only missing one thing a lot and that's closed captions. Meedio did not itself display them, but it did encode them and I was able to display them using FFDShow as the video codec. I was expecting to be able to display them within MP, having seen this described as one of it's features, but now seeing that the display of them is disabled for technical reasons, I would like to be able to do the same FFDShow setup here. However, I'm not getting anything displayed.

Does MP at least encode CC? Has anyone ever gotten MP to display CC from an analog source? May I ask if this feature will be returning anytime soon?

I apologize if these questions are noobish to this forum. I am new here and am not aware of whatever the day-to-day issues with this feature have been. Suffice it say though, if I can get this to work, I view this as, while not quite a need, I would say a very strong want.

I thank you all in advance for any feedback and information on this subject.
