ATV2 with subtitles enabled causes lag

Possible. I'm just repeating what's been told to me by the devs (not a programmer myself, though).

How do we get the dev's to notice this issue a bit more? Should we go to the issue tracker that was mentioned earlier and put more details there?

For the other issue, how could we tell if this is a jailbreak issue or if it is an xbmc on ios issue?

BTW, I took a gamble and tried to build eden2 but using a newer revision of the libass library, no change in the behavior. (then I tried to use a newer ffmpeg but gave up on that rather quickly

Well the ticket was opened 8 months ago and not a single entry came since then. I guess it wouldn't hurt if other people could confirm their request to reduce the cpu usage of the current method xbmc renders subtitles.

we would have done this already if we knew how to do it...

Thanks for reply!
I think this is not only XBMC issue but also related to the iOS system. So, We may try to ask some jailbreak developers to help us, such as @comex, @iH8snow, or @MusuleNerd.

comex does not work on jailbreak stuff anymore. iH8snow or MusuleNerd would have no interest in making subtitles render faster.

I'm just a long time fan of XBMC and have no idea about how to code but my tests with a relative weak PC showed that the subtitles were perfectly smooth on XBMC-Live 9.10 while it was a littlte bit choppy on Dharma with the very same video + sub. So I guess something like antianalising of subtitles or other new eyecandy features must have been introduced in Dharma causing more cpu usage. We "just" need to identify it in the code and make it possible to disable it.
But as I said I'm not a programmer it's just my 2¢.

Oh, that's a pity.
I mean the jailbreak which FireCore supplies has some kernel bugs that cause the 'launchctl' issue, sandbox issue and maybe more, will the jailbreak developers help to port 'corona' jailbreak for atv 2?

I think it won't be too difficult to port. Now the corona jailbreak package or redsn0w/sn0wbreeze doesn't support atv 2.

As for as I know, corona is already ported to atv2 by |bile| who also dev SeasonPass. But all this is off-topic for this thread.

since I (still) don't use atvflash mediaplayer - do their subtitles render properly? If someone can confirm - it's a start..
