Hi everyone,
I'm running the latest Gotham Nightly on XBMCBuntu on my Intel NUC i3 (DC3217BY). I enabled the buffermode=1 option in advancedsettings.xml (also enlarged the cache to 1GB using the cachemembuffersize option and set readbufferfactor to 2.0) so even media from my NFS share would be cached (because my Wi-Fi doesn't always work that well in the home).
However, with these options, XBMC is unable to display external subtitles with a video. The subtitles are stored on my NFS share, in the same folder as the videos and have the filename "<episodefilename>.nl.srt". XBMC does recognize the subtitles and their language (in this case "Dutch") but doesn't automatically enable them (although prefer external subtitles option is enabled and Dutch is set as the preferred subtitle language). When I enable the subtitles manually through the OSD audio setting, the subtitles also won't show.
Downloading subtitles through opensubtitles f.e. also doesn't work. XBMC reports the subtitles are downloaded, but won't show them.
Subtitles that are embedded in the video (internal subtitles) do perfectly work. When I change the buffermode to 0 (the default option), subtitles do show up and everything works normally (but because my wifi isn't as strong in the living room, I sometimes get buffering issues, that's why I would like to have buffermode = 1).
Pastebin URL with debug log: http://pastebin.com/FcyyvXUA (playing an episode of How I Met Your Mother, trying to enable external subtitles and downloading them through opensubtitles.org).
EDIT: Have been skimming through the debug log myself, found these lines of code (but now I have reached the boundary of my code knowledge :p):
