Windows Another "XBMC Subtitles not working" thread. Sigh...

hmm... ok... i thought there might be a way to change it from the XBMC level.
What surprises me is that it used to work before. XBMC has a built-in Python 2.4 interpreter (correct me if I'm wrong), that had problems with UTF-8 encoded paths. I know it's fixed in most recent version of Python 3. But, nevertheless, why did it work before?

because it used to write to special://profile/bla, now it has to translate before it writes.

Long story short, I click on subtitles button, choose a subtitle I want, click on it, it says "Subtitles downloaded and extracted", but no subtitles anywhere. I tried several folders including My Documents - no go. Same was on my old Windows installation, so I guess it's a major issue. On previous XBMC version everything worked flawless.

Here's my debug log: http://pastebin.com/TykF0bMk

Any solution will be appreciated.

Have you done some updates to Eden? Cause I still have this same problem and I just installed the latest one...
Would appreciate it if you let me know about this status...

I have exactly the same problem as described, but I run XBMC 11.0-Pre compiled August 8 on Xubuntu 12.04.
It worked fine throughout space and time. Then for many months, subtitles were at the top of the screen. Doctors were stunned and had never seen this before. Now since the past, I don't know, month or so, after an update, no more subtitles are displayed after a successful download.

Does this have the same cause, or are the issues on Linux different and should I open a new topic about it?

Without going through the debug logs yet, I've noticed that the first time I choose a subtitle to download, it does not appear on the video. If I do the same procedure a second time and choose the same subtitle, it works. Strange, I'll check out the debug log when I get home from work.

Hi!
I have same problems like you guys, and subtitles addon is a crucial one for many, many user out there. I dont like the idea hooping to my computer every time I want a sub. So here is my debug log for devs to dissect:

When can we expect this bug to be fixed?

Hmm, I had this issue all the time last weekend. Yesterday I tried to reproduce it and make some debug logs, but couldn't do it on any of my four xbmc installations. Well well, as long as it works, ignorance is bliss. I'll post back if I can get it to fail again.
