[mythtv-users] Internal Player: subtitle delay

[federico.ferri at yahoo.it]

The second you say. The subtitle start good and after a commercial break 
it "slips", and stay in this way.

It's not a recording problem, i'm tring to solve a playback problem.

This happens when i add italian subtitles (external srt files download 
from internet) to an english movie.

Thank you for your reply.

bye
