Sorry, I didn't include logs in the last post:
Steps to reproduce:
1. Create an MKV with PGS subtitles (from a Blu-Ray) as well as any other format of supplied subtitles (SRT, ASS, SUB/IDX) using MKVMerge 4.1.0.
2. Attempt to playback MKV in MP
3. Attempt to load subtitles (MP will not display subtitle menu; logs will say that there are no subtitles available)
4. Now, create an MKV with all the same streams except for the PGS subs, and the remaining subtitles will work.
Description of Issue:
PGS subs are the image-based sub format on Blu-Ray disks and are superior to SUB/IDX because the conversion process done by BDSup2Sub causes noticeable aliasing.
The latest build of MKVMerge (4.1.0) supports merging PGS subs into an MKV. eac3to has supported extracting PGS subs from MKV for a while. Recent MPC-HC builds also support decoding PGS subs within MKV. However, PGS subs do not appear in the subtitle list for selection in Mediaportal. In addition, if a PGS subtitle is included in an MKV, no other subtitles regardless of format will appear. MP will report that there are no subtitles and fail to show the subtitle menu.
Example:
I have attached logs to confirm the issue. The file I played back has the following attributes-
