Subtitles wont display (2 Viewers)

[Skeith]

I cant find any info about this in the forum so here is my issue.

I have media portal 99% working, except the fact that subtitles wont display on the videos.
The videos in question are both .ogm and .mkv dual audio with 1 - 2 subtitle streams.
I can select the audio no problem, and pressing the subtitle button does let me select a stream, so the player
recignizes there is a sub stream there. But it wont overlay them on the video.

I have subtitles enabled in the video menu in MPconfig and have the vobsub directshow filters installed.

I am using K-lite media pack full as my codec source, and have additionaly installed the vobsub filters listed in the codecs section on the site here. Still nothing, they are selectable but wont show up on the screen.

I am using Media Portals built in video player.
The sub steams will play on windows media player, but not Media Portals player. I would perfer not to use a seperate video player.

Specs:
Windows XP pro
Pentium III 1Ghz CPU
512MB 133Mhz memory
ATI Rage 3D LT PRO video

Everything else runs fine, just no subtitles.
thanks in advance.

Can't help, but give a general tip:
ALWAYS upload your logfiles. They may seem unimportant for ppl like us, but not to the people you hope to get help from

So run MPTestTool -> start MP -> try to play the movie w/subs -> gather log files -> UL

First mistake was installing any codec pack. A better idea would have been to install just Haali Media Splitter (for mkv), a video decoder and a filter that can display the subtitles (ffdshow can do both).

You can still try to add Vobsub (non autoloading version) or ffdshow raw video filter to MediaPortal Configuration/Movies/Post Processing. Hopefully the codec pack didn't mess up your system's merits.
