First line of TV subtitles not displaying at top (10 Viewers)

[CyberSimian]

enabling dvbsubtitles shows me that pin connected to MP's DVBsub3 and indeed missing lines.

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.

found it and fixed it!

Jira

build will be ready at the regular places (which will include just this fix and not the other ones that @ajs is working on)

Thanks everyone, I'll test it out when time permits (recording laptop needs to be rebuilt first - TvService not starting when booting and x64 client does not support TvWishList).

I downloaded the GitHub build , this one:

"MediaPortalSetup_x64_1.39.000_2026-10-29-20-06.exe"​

​

It installed without problem.
I am pleased to report that the subtitle problem with the test file is now fixed.

I did notice one oddity, which may be a quirk of my system. When stopping play (via the "B" key on the keyboard), it takes around 5 seconds for the key to be actioned (that is, the video keeps playing for around 5 seconds before the "Videos" panel is redisplayed). I looked in the log to see if there were any entries that showed a circa 5-second delay, but I did not notice anything unusual. The delay is not consistent, sometimes being shorter (2 seconds), although the delay does seem to be related to the type of file being played. The subtitle test file (HD) and a UK HD file were always around 5 seconds, whereas a UK SD file was always around 2 seconds. But three files is not a comprehensive test, and perhaps this is expected behaviour.

Am I allowed to access the test builds? I assume it will be a few weeks before this fix makes it into a public release.
I need the 32 bit version. I promise not to report any unrelated issues!
