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
It's not really a "bug", it's more the missing feature to render transparencies for TTX. Maybe that's why... ;)

    How many different type of subtitles are used for DVB broadcasts? And exactly which ones is it that will be supported?

    From what i can gather here in Denmark DVB standard bitmap subtitles are used (along with occasional Teletext subtitle support) on DVB-T broadcasts, is that what will be supported? (I dont use DVB-T personally, but my parents do in their brand new MP HTPC ;)

    I use DVB-C, and there are few channels where i dont get subtitles, National Geographic, Discovery, Animal Planet etc.
    Im not sure how the subs are transmitted, but i do get subtitles in MyTheatre on those channels. Should i expect to be able to see these subtitles as well when the above discussed support is added?

    I completely agree that today there are other priorities than subtitles, TV-engine 3 has to work perfectly and developers have only two hands ;)

    However a member of my family simply need subtitles, you can understand why, so if a developer can take care of it when possible will simplify my TV setup and life a lot ;)

    Just to let you know priority related to my country:
    1) Tetetext subtitles (this annoying background transparency - otherways they works!!).
    2) DVB subtitles (only some channel uses it - and when used also trought teletext are supplied - will try when V3 released).
    3) MHP

    The final wish it's the possibility to record it :)

    Thanks for your great work.

    The tvserver supports DVB subtitles (not teletext subtitles, or MHEG or MHP)
    The subtitles are streamed to the client and if you use VLC for example
    to watch the stream, you'll notice that subtitles are present and shown.

    However, Mediaportal itself does not support DVB subtitles yet.
    So:
    - yes tv server supports dvb subtitles
    - you can view dvb subtitles in vlc for example
    - mediaportal itself cannot display the subtitles (yet)

    I cannot see subtitles at VLC when I'm streaming Finnish Yleisradio broadcasts YLE1 or YLE2.

    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...

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

    Your observation is correct mate. Last time this happened the fires of hell invaded all shopping centers... this time I seem to be the only one in need - which is quite uncomfortable at best. I guess I should look for an alternate solution until and if other MP users realize they have no guide listings. Thank you for chiming in...

    Well, all that remains is to find someone who will add this render if it is a render.
