If you don't have a keyboard/mouse attached to your HTPC, it's possible to map out functions to some remote buttons. For my set-up, I use the channel up button for subtitle changing and the channel down button for switching audio.
Thank you for the reply! So, is this a failing of DirectX overall, or a matter of filters not keeping up with the hardware?
I'll have to look into using the external player - although it feels a bit silly to me (and more than a little hacky) to have to leave the application entirely, I guess if it needs to happen, it needs to happen.
What is the response time like when you start playback? And to where are you returned when playback ends? Guess I've some work ahead of me tonight...
