MP2 - V2.1 [MP2-647] TV: Subtitles can't be turned off (4 Viewers)

[HTPCSourcer]

I'm in the UK. They're called subtitles here too.

Yes, they are. Maybe you can then explain the difference between Closed Caption and subtitles to me.

As far as I know they're overlay text too.

Sure. You refer to digital subtitles contrary to the old analogue teletext subtitles that we have (had) in Gemany now for ages. It's only since a few years that some German stations broadcast DVB subtitles. For the Germans who read this: Das Erste HD is broadcasting digital subtitles, hence we might be able to test this at our side also.

From what I understand subtitles are dialog, closed captions included dialog and sounds such as "CLOCK CHIMES" or "PHONE RINGS". However some people called this subtitles too. I don't think anyone knows really.

I remember when I first got DVB here, the subtitles were awful, about 15 seconds behind.

Do I need to start another thread or can I also report that xml files are still left behind after deleting recordings.

You would need to start another thread, if it wasn't already known : see MP2-617 TV recording xml files not removed when deleting TV shows

Generally speaking, we invite everybody to take a look at the Bug section itself and the Jira before submitting new bug reports.

here is a good explanation.

No, we are not able to test it with MP2, because currently MP2 doesn't support teletext subtitles (see Vasilich posts).
The live tv subtitles from @Albatross365 are dvb subtitles.

Do I need to start another thread or can I also report that xml files are still left behind after deleting recordings.

Yes, please start another thread.

Regarding the dvd/live tv subtitles: thanks for the steps to reproduce I will look into this.

As I wrote in my posting: Das Erste HD has started to broadcast DVB subtitles too. I guess none of us ever paid attention.

Yes, please start another thread.

No please

As long as I keep track of what we have in Jira...

 

[Albatross365]

As I was already posting I thought I'd ask.

Don't worry. I won't start a thread ;D

That's fine. We appreciate active users. Usually I am taking such postings and move them into a separate thread then.

Don't worry. I won't start a thread ;D

Ah, we have these nice "Duplicate" labels that we can assign to postings

 

[Albatross365]

I wouldn't usually use subs but the TV producers over here either can't get their sound mix right or don't stop the actors from mumbling.

Lots of consternation from members of the public.

 

[ge2301]

Well, there is no mentioning of "TV" anywhere

Thank you for the screen shot, now it is clear what we are talking about. This is hard for us to test as we don't have closed caption on German TV. Subtitles work via overlay teletext only.

@ge2301 , can you please take a look at the previous posting, which describes the issue? Maybe the "no subtitles" is not linked to any function? Or has it been fixed in the meantime?

I took a look, but I fear, that it's not skin related (wrong command linked to button). The command only opens a dialog and if one dialog entry does not work correctly, it's related to the model behind. Looking at the model I can roughly follow the steps, but my #C knowledge is far too less for finding a potential problem.

 

[HTPCSourcer]

@morpheus_xx , do you have a moment to verify the model? See posting #28 for a description and screenshot of the issue.
