First, I had a problem with avi's with multiple (6) audio channels. They were played all at the same time.
I checked with graphedit, and the first component was "avisplitter" which sended all the audio-outputs to 6 different ac3 decoders.
I found a tip to check the "use for avi" box at the installation of the haali splitter.
So I reinstalled haali, and checked the box and hurray! it works (only 1 audio channel, and switchable through the remote).
But now I have the following:
I have an avi file with a <filename>.en.srt alongside of it. And since the reinstall of haali, I get no subtitles in mediaportal.
I checked with graphedit, and if I open the file there, it adds the directvobsub, and i have subtitles in there.
I tried enabling Autoload VSFilter in haali, but that had no effect.
I tried switching from EVR to VMR9, but that had no effect too.
what are the criteria for a subtitle to match? I think .en.srt would do the trick.
Has the option for the subtitle language any effect? Or is this more a preference, if there are more than 1 srt present?
I do have the EVR as choice in the mediaportal configuration under directshow/video renderer
I do have MPC-Mpeg-2 video decoder as choice onder videos\video player
I do have the show subtitles enabled in videos, tab subtitle/audio
Here is a piece of the mediaportal.log, hope someone can shed some light on it?

Update:
I tried adding DirectVobSub to mediaportal configuration/videos/video post processing/activated filters: then I see the subtitles displayed correctly, but then I can't play videos without subtitles, so I removed the DirectVobSub from the activated filters.
I checked with Procmon and I see that mediaportal successfully opens the srt-file, so why can't I turn the subtitles on and off through mediaportal?
Furthermore: other avi-files are displayed correctly with subtitles, so I don't understand why this one is not working...
