Everytime I play a dvd I have to turn off the subtitles, anyway to keep them off always by default ?

thanks

Setup->DVD->Uncheck Show Subtitles

Should work as far as I know.

I found that this config option disables subtitles for most DVDs but there are some where the subtitles cannot be disabled at all (Fantasic Four was one of them) using RC1 and RC2. Under Windows Media Player I was able to disable the subtitles on these DVDs.

I think the difference was that some DVD menus let you choose or "On" or "Off" for "Subtitles for the hearing impaired"' and other DVD menus just toggle the option by clicking on the the subtitles menu option. Media Portal doesn't seem to be handling the toggle option properly.

I almost lost lounge room HTPC privileges due to a massive drop in WAF due to this issue :)

    Same here, RE the WAF...

    I found that I could turn off subtitles in the DVD menu, but they would return every time a chapter changed in the movie.
    I use the DScaler, so I was able to turn off "Display forced subtitles" in the dscaler options (MP config/filters/dscaler video).

    The only issue is I now have the reverse. Some DVD's need subtitles and they only appear for the current chapter and then have to be turned on again.

    Default Direct Sound Device was the problem. MPAR worked better than Dircect Sound, but is still a problem. Changed Audio Renderer to use the TV and it's working.

    Hi @Greenhorn7, to help narrow this down a bit, I suspect that when the recordings menu entry is missing you are probably also missing menu entries for Videos, Movies, Series and Images too. Can you confirm? Does simply navigating to a different screen then back to home again cause the recordings menu item to show up? Those menu...

    Good to hear you got it working.(y) I have attached a screenshot of my Power Scheduler settings and, yes my TV does stay off when a scheduled recording starts.
