Uppercase first letter in subtitle (.srt) file.

[DrDDT]

Hi!

My shows always start with an uppercase letter, but the subtitle file always with a lowercase letter:

The ellen degeneres show_20070813_16051705.mpg
the ellen degeneres show_20070813_16051705.srt

XBMC won't pick up the subtitles this way.
Can this be fixed?

This bug unfortunately still exists in 1.2.9.

Were you using an analog card or digital card to capture these srt files?

What are the srt files for? I've seen them & could never figure out what they do (they are always zero size on my rig).

If you've got them on your machine with your recordings, then it sounds like you've turned on the option to capture teletext subtitles. There are no teletext subtitles in the US, so these files would always be empty.

Thanks. They're not causing any trouble - I just never could figure out what they were for.

Since you have pvr150's you could run mpg2srt and generate the closed captions files and use them if you wanted
