I had installed v5.00 in the hope that it might get subtitles working for MediaPortal's .ts recordings, but I've yet to get them to display. I use MP 1.1.0 with 4TR 1.5.0.1. I'm not exactly certain what the current situation is. I understand that MP has had some trouble displaying captions natively, but I haven't found anything on the forums stating that it doesn't encode them. As a very long time user of Meedio, which did encode them but did not natively support their display, I was able to use FFDShow to view them. When I've checked a MP file in GraphEdit, I do not see a connection for captions, and when playing a file in VLC, I again see no subtitle stream. Also, often what I've found on the forums discusses captions and subtitles in a general sense, often without implicitly stating whether this means TV or DVD or other video files, so I haven't been able to work out what is going on.So I was hoping you guys on this thread, since you deal with the encoding/decoding aspect of MP so much would be able to help. Does MP encode the caption stream for TV? If it does not, is there a way to force it to? If it does, is there a limited number of codecs and/or settings that accomplish this? If there is, could you suggest them? I thank you all very much for any help and/or information, and apologize if anyone feels I've hijacked at all. While I am not hearing impaired, I am accustomed to using captions because I like them. and do miss them very much. And to hoborg, thank you for a great codec package.</blockquote>
