Running MediaPortal 1.1.2 with SAF 4, I have now have an issue with subtitles with MKV files created with the MakeMKV application.
I can change the audio language inside mediaportal as I always can, but I cannot enable/change subs for MKV files created with MakeMKV. Nothing happens when I press L.

If I open the files with VLC on the HTPC, I can see and change the subtitles, so I know the files are there for a fact.

In MP conf I have FFDshow as video filters for all of them, except H264 which is CoreAVC.
For subtitle engine I use MPC-HC.

Any ideas ?

I have the same problem. I can sometimes see the subtitles for 30seconds and they they go away.


I feel the problems is in MakeMKV, they does making combatitle subtitles in mkv.

I've search MakeMKV's forums and seems like more are having troubles with subtitles and OUT-OF-SYNC movies which is caused by Makemkv. I would not recommend using it although I like it.

I don't have Mediaportal 1.2beta, but the handling of subtitles might have changed a bit. And oh SAF4 does not use FFDshow as video filter. :) It's SAF5.

If you find a solution please say so...

It works with totem, a Linux player as well.
Handbrake is unable to see them because handbrake does not support PGS subtitles. (which makemkv creates).

Could it be The same with MP ?

wormhole2k:
MePo subtitle engine does not support PGS subtitles.
You can install SAF5, enable subtitles support durning install and disable MePo subtitle engine.

What is MePo ?.. :)

I have installed SAF5, enabled subtitles under the installation, and I am now able to select the subtitles (MVHD Subtitles), but nothing shows on the screen, even if I select these.
In the subtitle section in MP conf I have MPC-HC, if I select another, or disable this, I am unable to select them.

MePo = MediaPortal.

Just for test - open and play your video in graphstudio (START-SAF-TOOLS), select subtitle stream from FFDshow icon.

Haha, stupid me. :)

Yes, this is working as well.
Is this because I use CoreAVC as H264 codec in MePo ?

Yes, you need to use FFDshow or FFDshow DxVA.

My computer is unable to play the video smoothly without the CoreAVC codec, so I am not really sure if it is out of sync or not.
(Which gives out of sync).

But as far as I am concerned, I guess this is kinda solved for now. :)
