As you'll probably know the implemented MPC-HC subtitle engine supports synchronising the subtitle while playing. Only currently, the delay you enter has an effect on all the lines, even the ones that have already been shown. This is not ideal, because with TV shows you will have to do it again every time you play an episode. This is because sync problems are often caused by commercials, so you'll have to skip every x number of minutes.

For example, when a subtitle is in sync in the beginning, and after a commercial it isn't. They you do like +1000ms delay. Now it is fine until the next commercial. After that you skip to +2500ms and it's sync again. Etcetera etcetera.

This causes the first lines to be +2500ms too, so it is out of sync. Is there maybe a way to let the entered delays be from that point on, instead of being for the whole subtitle? Or is this not possible by limitations of the subtitle engine, maybe?

Just a crazy idea :D
