MediaPortal Version: tested on 1.2.3, 1.9, 1.12, 1.13pre
Description
as nothing was changed in this area since 1.2.3 (the oldest version i still use), and i can reproduce this in 1.2.3, 1.9, 1.12 and 1.13, i assume this as a bug:
in Europe for DVB there are 2 types of subtitles for TV: DVB subtitles , transmitted as bitmaps (similar to DVD bitmap subtitles), and teletext subtitles, transmitted over Teletext on pages that are declared in transport stream (so if in the stream declared that there are subtitles on page 150, then teletext for this page will have synchronous subtitles).
teletext subtitles have defined small subset of colors (4 to 16) to distinct speech from different persons on one subtitle screen.
In MP the teletext subtitles are always shown in white, though other software,that is able to extract subtitles, reads the color information for them, so i assume that the color information is present there, but not used somehow.
In MP code there are some code pieces that reads color information for subtitles, but unfortunately i don't see any result of this code.
Where should i look to get teletext subtitles in color?
Or is it not possible with current subtitle renderer?
Steps to Reproduce:
tune to a DVB channel with teletext subtitles, and activate them
PS i can upload short .TS samplefile if someone needs it.
