This is a problem with how subtitles are displayed within Mediaportal during a live TV programme (as in, the programme is having subtitles transcribed whilst airing. Classic examples are News, Live sports etc). If a programme is viewed in VLC, live-transcribed subtitles are displayed like this (number represents order the words are displayed):
Line 1 - 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
Line 2 - 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
Once Line 2 fills up, it is shifted to Line 1 (i.e. is a fixed line of text). Line 2 displays each word as it arrives.
In MediaPortal, the same programme will display the subtitle stream like this:
Line 1 - 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
Line 2 - 2
3-9 are not displayed on Line 2, the subtitles stay fixed until Line 2 is filled, then 2-9 are shifted up to Line 1 and Line 2 only display 10.
I'm sorry about how this is described but it is better viewed then written down! I have a sample .ts which is a 1 minute clip of a programme from BBC 4 having subtitles transcribed. Viewing this clip within MediaPortal side-by-side with VLC, the problem would be easy to see. If ftp details can be given out, I can upload the clip.
Also attached are logs from me viewing the .ts clip in the RecordedTV section of MediaPortal
