Hey,<br>
<br>
Just installed svn version of mythtv and I am eager to try out subtitles. When I go to <br>
playback and select menu->subtitles->Finnish, mythtv just Subtitle track 1, no text shows <br>
up . What could be wrong here ?<br>
<br>
Someone mentioned about enabling them. Do I need to do something else to display the text ?<br>
<br>
I did not find anyt keyboard command for that from <a href="http://mythtv.org">mythtv.org</a><br>

http://www.biased.org/misc/mythtv/P1010089.JPG</a><br>><br>> I'm pretty sure that this is a result of the channel in question being<br>> transmitted at a lower-than-usual resolution (E4, More4 and the minor<br>> ITV channels spring to mind) to cram ever more into the available
<br>> bandwidth. I assume the subtitles are transmitted with absolute pixel<br>> offsets to specify their position, based on a full PAL image (presumably<br>> this makes life easier for STBs).<br>><br>> I suspect the blue bar is another symptom of the same thing - my
<br>> freeview STB likes to make green ones on More4 occasionally, and the<br>> 'correct' fix is a bit of overscan.<br>><br>><br>> Kim.<br><br>The current DVB subtitle code makes no attempt to scale the subtitle images
<br>which are scaled and positioned to be correct at a video size of 720x576.<br>Some channels like E4 typically use a video resolution of 544x576 so when the<br>subtitle images are passed to the OSD for display the wrong position and image
<br>size is given for the video resolution being used.<br><br>Could you try the attached patch and report back.<br><br>I'd be interested to know if DVB in NTSC land uses subtitles and if so are you seeing<br>similar problems with the subtitles displaying in the wrong position or partly of the screen.
