[mythtv-users] Couple minor bugs - OS X Frontend and DVB subtitles

Hello,

Again, not exactly sure where to post the bugs so am posting it on the 
users list hoping for someone to notice.

1) Using the precompiled OS X frontend I downloaded from 
http://www.thesniderpad.com on a Mac Mini outputting via it's DVI port 
and using the Apple S-Video convertor works fine.  But I find when I 
skip forward using the right/left arrow keys, I note the OSD display 
flashing back to "00:00 of <full length of video>" and sure enough, if I 
tap the same arrow when it's showing "00:00" it jumps back to 00:00 - 
pretty annoying when I'm trying to quickly skip through ads - I have to 
tap the arrow key slowly to make sure I don't jump back to 00:00.

2) I remember there were a bug with DVB subtitles not clearing and it 
apparently was fixed.  Apparently not with some channels - one channel I 
know it definitely don't work is "five" in the UK - subtitles always 
stay up right until the next subtitle is shown, or when I skip 
forward/back. It works fine for most channels I watch often like BBC, 
ITV, etc.

Cheers - Piers
