Comment (by eliteforce82nd@…):

 Just an update, I wiped one of my frontends in the last 48 hours after
 having issues with ubuntu 14.04 and loaded archlinux. I noticed that the
 "Always display closed captioning" option is obeyed on both open-source
 drivers (nouveau and xf86-video-ati aka:radeon) with both opengl and vdpau
 profiles.

 But if I install proprietary drivers I get differing results.


 AMD drivers v15.7 for hd 6310 and v12.9 for hd 4650 using opengl profiles,
 the option is obeyed and captions displays automatically and remain
 consistent. But if you use vdpau profiles, the option is not longer
 obeyed, and you have to manually turn on captions after entering live-tv
 or recordings.

 (note, downgrading Xorg to 1.12 for driver v12.9, it was upgraded back to
 latest version of 1.17 for the nvidia swap)

 Swapping out video cards and going to Nvidia Geforce GT 210 and installing
 340.xx drivers from arch or ubuntu 331.xx; Using either opengl and vdpau
 profiles the option is not obeyed, and you have to manually turn on
 captions after entering live-tv or recordings.

 Since I have performance problems with Open-source drivers I need to use
 proprietary drivers for a smooth playback.

 I've also updated my foxconn nT-330i nano-pc which uses an atom 1.86ghz
 processor, nvidia ion chip and using nvidia proprietary drivers on xubuntu
 12.04 kernel 3.2.0, this frontend has reproduced the problem as well.

 Hope this helps.
