subtitles not working as they should

Postby nightmare_vincent » 24 Jun 2018 23:21

sometimes some of the subs get unreadable but the next one works just fine and then after a little while happens again.
I search a lot and haven't seen my problem, the closest i come is a font problem witch does not apply to mine since most of the sub works.

Hello, I can confrim that this happens at least in version 3.0.5. DVB subtitles in the stream, sometimes misses spoken lines and gets messy like the screen shot in this thread. Subtitle track is shown in the subtitle menu.

I tried the same file with versio 2.2.8. and it worked just fine.

I cannot post examlpes here, but this should be repeatable with any file with DVB subtitles (tried many any always the same result).
