Hi,
Although the support for DVB subtitles is more than satisfactory at the moment, I still have a few things I'd like see handled in a better way:
1. Pausing. At the monet the subtitles will disappear like in a live view - meaning that VDR seems to adhere the life time assignened to a subtitle image though the replay has been paused, causing the subtitles to disappear.
2. Backward jumping. When I jump backward, for example for 20 seconds, it will take quite a long time until the first subtitle is shown. Quite a many times this will end up in a rush of subtitles being presented very very quickly until the normal flow is reached.
For us living and dealing with subtitled broadcasts this is a "major" issue. Which means that if these things could be fixed, VDR would be much more user friendly.
I don't know where this behaviour originates, but I use xineliboutput as the output device.

The attached patch should handle this - in a way. Ofcourse, the elapsed time of shown subtitle should be stored when paused and re-set after the replaying has started again. But it would complicate the patch and I don't see any real-life benefits for it.

Thanks. But with a quick test with VDR 1.7.11 I could not get the subtitles to stay visible. They still disappear after their lifetime has been spent.

Well, it worked with my FF card. :) If you're using xineliboutput, make sure you're also using VDR as subtitles decoder.

Yes, I am using xineliboutput and also VDR as the subtitles decoder.

Ok. I've just added a patch into xineliboutput's cvs and it should fix this (preparing for next vdr release) - at least it did in my quick tests.
And it truly does. :) Thank you!
