that is frontend not in android. in android as far as i know, the
codecs are mediacodec or ffmpeg (opengl). i only know that leanfront
uses the x/o player for playback the codec is not selectable but it
renders the subtitles. the mythfrontend android you can choose among
codecs/decoding and there for me if the playback shows ffmpeg from
selecting opengl, i get subtitles, if it shows mediacodec i don't get
subtitles. probably peter bennett could answer better.
