Hi

Is the new TV Engine capable of showing DVB-subtitles? We are really looking forward to this feature in the nordic countries.

    Sorry for nagging but what about teletext subtitles?

    Some of our channels send the subtitles via teletext and some using DVB subtitles :(

    SweMart, what are you doing to the dog in your avatar?

    Teletext subtitles is not related to the new TV engine yet, it's a kind of a bug that the background doesn't get transparent. But we didn't have time yet to look into it any further...

    What about UK subtitles which I believe are based on MHEG?
    Currently it looks like this won't come in near future. Of course unless someone else will start to work on it. The core team is not working on MHEG or MHP integration for MP at the moment.

    I already see the next question coming up.... We're not working on CC (closed captions, used in USA) support either at the moment.

    Why is not in Mantis if it's considered as a bug? Just a though, but that could perhaps lead to some dev picking up the issue and making everyon

    People would also stop asking this question every week:) Maybe put it as a sticky under gen. dev in the forum?

    Cheers,

    I'm running 2.5 with the WMC skin. I have .mp4 files, along with the related .srt files in the same folder. I can watch the movies just fine. In past versions of MP, like 2.4x, I could press the More Info button on my remote twice, and on the second press, an option for showing/choosing the subtitles was listed. I'd select the...

    Thanks for the update on this. I should have searched before posting, always assume it is something I have done wrong.

    Many many years ago, I opened a bug report after I got that same message but I never got a reply. The reason was I had unchecked the Windows Media Player item in Windows 10 Control Panel > Program and Features > Turn Windows features on or off as I didn't need it, without thinking that it was needed by MediaPortal. I kept the "Media...

    Thank you for confirming that U&W works for you. I ended up deleting U&W and rescanning for channels. That fixed the issue.
