If TV Subtitles are enabled, they are displayed always by default when starting MP.

Hi!

I have a little issue with TV subtitles. I live in Spain and from time to time I like to watch a movie in English (some TV stations use dual language soundtracks), but I need the subtitles to fully understand everything... I send the 'L' command with my remote to activate / deactivate them.

Now the question is that I find only two different configurations, and none of them satisfy me 100%:

1. MP configuration: TV / TV Client / Subtitle settings: Enable DVB subtitles OFF and Enable teletext subtitles OFF: Then TV starts with no subtitles and they never can be activated at all.
2. MP configuration: TV / TV Client / Subtitle settings: Enable DVB subtitles ON and Enable teletext subtitles ON: Then whenever MP starts, TV starts always with subtitles on screen, although I can deactivate or activate them with my remote at any time.

This happen with MP 1.1 RC 4, but it did also happen with previous versions...

So I need to enable these options, but it is quite boring having always to switch off subtitles every time I turn on MP.

Concluding: If subtitles are enabled, then they are displayed by default. Is there any way to have subtitles displayed on screen ONLY when I want them?

I am attaching two sets of logs if this could provide any help: First with subtitles not enabled (pressing 'L' has no effect); Second with subtitles enabled and displayed as TV starts (pressing 'L' changes from DVB to teletext subs, and then they are switched off).

Currently there is no way to enable subtitles and then have then disabled when TV is started. Sorry.

Thanks.

I think that it will be a new nice feature (quite easy to implement). But I am afraid that I have to wait till MP 2...

Yes, it would be quite easy to implement. Hopefully someone in the comminuty has time to develop a patch and such feature could be added to 1.2.0.
