I got it working by adding this to my lircrc
begin
remote = mceusb
prog = mythtv
button = Hash
config = T
repeat = 0
delay = 0
end
begin
remote = mceusb
prog = mythtv
button = Hash
button = Hash
config = #
repeat = 0
delay = 0
end
and setting this in my keybindings
TV Playback TOGGLECC Toggle any captions T
TV Playback NEXTSUBTITLE Next subtitle track #
I don't have set a key for TOGGLESUBTITLE
If I press the Hash key on my remote control once, it toggles the
subtitle on or off, if I press it twice it goes to the next one.
I'm running 0.25+fixes
