Subtitles delay?

[Reddwarf]

Teletext subtitles are still mostly some seconds ahead of audio/video, would it be possible to introduce a "subtitles delay"? Preferably possible to set from the remote (or keyboard) by entering alt-D or something?

It is also VERY annoying that subtitles does not go away after their disokay time is passed.

This should help with DVB Subtitles not disappearing by themselves.

Mmmm, I can't really see any difference. Mayve I should make you a sample of the most problematic recording?

DVB subtitles here are also completely out of sync (to early). This was maybe a bit better in earlier versions where the time shift was somewhat smaller.

I could definitely see them going away with that patch. Yeah, make a sample recording available.

I admittedly removed a 1 second delay, because they were showing about a second late on my channels. I cant win

Unfortunately due to the combinations of directshow decoders I have to use, I cant know exactly when they should appear, so it has to guess based on when the subtitles are delivered from the demux, and it currently does this by adding with a static delay.

In the attached patch you can tweak that delay to better suite your broadcaster's channels. Add the following in the <Subtitles> section of config.xml:

<DVBSubtitlesPESDelay>1200</DVBSubtitlesPESDelay>

Yes I am seeing this too on any program I have tried from any channel. But not when watching during LiveTV. As soon as you pause LiveTV, or press skip once, then subtitles go crazy. Subtitles are also early on recorded programs.

I'd be happy to provide a sample recording if you'd like sub.

BTW, shouldn't this thread be in the support forum?

That can't be the cause though. In my case the subtitles are early by 30 to 60 seconds. Also sometimes a bunch of early lines appear in quick succession.

That must be when your broadcaster is transmitting them then. NextPVR currently displays them pretty much immediately when they arrive in the stream (after short 1200ms or so tweakable sleep mentioned above). This scheme works pretty well with our DVB Subtitles in New Zealand. As I mentioned above, the application has no idea when they should be displayed, so has to guess.
