[QUOTE="ziphnor, post: 223094, member: 14215"] If you are referring to the DVB subtitle support, and have these problems also with the latest SVN version (later than the one that introduced a nice configuration UI for the subs) then you should really get over to the associated thread and report your problem! Pretty please? ( the thread is [URL="https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/new_dvb_subtitle_filter_tsreader_based-t25838.html"]here[/URL] ) Its possible that i have just been unlucky, or maybe there is a critical difference in our setups. I tried it at home with my Dual DVB-C's and it would usually have crashed if left on overnight (not to mention that there didnt seem to be any way of turning TV off, so my HTPC consumed alot of power). Timeshifting didn't really work and the DVB subs were rendered at the same time as they were received which is usually way too early. I also tried installing it at my parents house (they insisted they wanted a HTPC after seeing mine). They use DVB-S and DVB-T. Because of some problems with MP and the fact that at the time there was no DVB sub support, i tried to switch them to DVB Viewer ( thought they might have more luck with it). There has been nothing but complaints since. They cant figure out how to use it, it crashes and it messes up their recordings. They keep asking to get the 'blue man' back (MP that is ;) This shouldnt be seen as an attempt to bash DVB Viewer, its a pretty cool program for the price (and overall is probably the best alternative), but i just couldnt get it to work on my own or my parents setup. Do you remember to report the issues you encounter? Looking at your posting history it doesn't look it (unless TV-out quality has been your biggest issue?). I understand the frustration when things dont work (remember i was also a frustrated user once, now im a frustrated developer ;) but please trust me when i say that we *are* working on it. Many of the problems faced has to do with rather weird details of DVB. This is probably also why DVB viewer works better for some people. They have a buggy implementation and we have a different buggy implementation (and each provider relies on their own personal buggy implementation). Depending on your broadcaster and how they feel about DVB you experience can vary greatly. To summarize, i appreciate your frustration upspace, but either provide some more constructive criticism (as in bug reports for example) or go bug the DVB Viewer developers instead :) [/QUOTE]
