Subtitles only stay up for about half a second

[lost@c]

Due to a new person in the house, I have a need to use Subtitles for the first time.  (Long time user).  I can press the yellow key where there is the option for disabled or DVB subtitles.  I can select it and it works, but they flash up and then off again really quickly - like half a second, so unusable mostly.

The only settings I can find in the Config file is the delay and changing this does not solve the issue.

I know, I know, I'm still on V4 but it works so well I currently have no reason to upgrade.  Hey at least I'm not still on XP (even though Win 7 is no longer supported).  Good thing the computer is not connected to a network

Appreciate if my version is too old for assistance but any pointers would be appreciated.

Sorry, there is really nothing we can do about old v4 problems these days. If it had been v6, I’d have got a sample recording from you, so I could have seen the issue here, and fix.

Thanks Sub. Totally understand. If you hadn't made V4 so reliable and so good...

V6 should be as reliable. It does many things much better than v4 ever did.

I guess that will be my next task. My issue will be that it will probably trigger a whole new machine as it currently runs on a fairly ancient 32 bit windows box. I'm picking V6 is 64 bit?

Except for optional transcoding and thumb generation you shouldn't need any extra cpu or memory. After all it can run on a Raspberry Pi.

Yes there is is Win32 and am32 version

Thanks for that Martin. That sounds better than I expected! Will start an upgrade in the next week or so.

You can get pills for this sort of problem nowadays....
