as DVB-T subtitles required MHEG engine, which is not supported in MP, you won't be able to get them.

someone was working on an MHEG plugin for MP, but that was some time ago and i don't know if it is still on-going.

    hmm.. DVB subtitles aren't requiring or related to the MHEG. DVB subtitles are work in progresss, but lately I haven't had any time to work with those.

    in the UK for DVB-T, the subtitles are broadcast using the MHEG engine (correct me if i am wrong)

    At least one sample that I have received from UK DVB is using DVB subtitles not the MHEG. Maybe you could upload some more samples to see if it's the case or not.

    TV Server plugins are listed on this page, and "EPG Cleaner" can be downloaded from this page. Note: I don't know what bitness the plugin has. It might be 32-bit, or it might be "any cpu". The plugin is not listed by the "MP Extensions" tool, so I don't know whether it has been tested with the most-recent MP releases. -- from...

    I'm running 2.5 with the WMC skin. I have .mp4 files, along with the related .srt files in the same folder. I can watch the movies just fine. In past versions of MP, like 2.4x, I could press the More Info button on my remote twice, and on the second press, an option for showing/choosing the subtitles was listed. I'd select the...

    In the UK, the EPG transmitted in the DVB-T datastream allows each programme to have two genres -- a primary genre, and a secondary genre (i.e. a subgenre). The primary genre might be something like Film (or Movie in the USA). The secondary genre for Film might be something like: Action, Comedy, Crime, Fantasy, Romance, Science...
