committed a fix for black borders on CC-608 captions (analogue/NTSC).<br>
I've also backported it to 0-24-fixes.<br>

So you should see a black border for external text subtitles, embedded<br>
text subtitles (rare) and CC-608 captions. CC-708 captions have their<br>
own styling dictated by the broadcaster and DVB/DVD/Bluray subs are<br>
all bitmaps rather than raw text. There is no outline for teletext<br>
subtitles.<br>
<br></blockquote><div> </div><div>Thanks for the info. I didn't realize that the default setting in mythfrontend/TV playback is now to use CC-708 captions and it appears that the current CC-608 now use a less visible grey border rather than a black one. I'm back to CC-608 grey borders now, which is acceptable until your patch gets pushed through to atrpms. </div>
