Sometimes an national distribution version of a movie has some sequences at the beginning (e.g. logo of the national distributor), that do not appear in the original (e.g. US-National) version. Therefore the english subtitle versions found by the scraper are not "in sync", because the subtitles appear earlier (about the duration of the distributor-sequences).

In these cases, sometimes the subtitle delay option of max 10 sec is not sufficient.

--> Is there a way that this delay can be extended to, let's say, 20 or 30 seconds?

Do I assume correctly that it is not possible to customize this myself (platform atv2)?

Create a text document, name it advancedsettings.xml, paste the code below in it and put it in your userdata folder (not sure where it is on ATV, and wiki is down now).

Code:

<advancedsettings>
  <video>
    <subsdelayrange>xx</subsdelayrange>  <!-- Delay range for subtitles, in seconds. -->
  </video>
</advancedsettings>

Replace xx with the seconds you want.

Is subsdelayrange limited to double digits?

[host505]

No...

NICE!

Must have overlooked this in advancedsettings-wiki, my bad...

P.S.: for anyone interested, the path on atv2 is private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC/userdata

Hi there,

I did exactly this - created an advancedsettings.xml document in my userdata folder (I'm using Windows) and copied and pasted that code in. I replaced "xx" with "120"

However, when I go back into audio settings and subtitle offset, it still only shows up as 10 seconds. Is there a step I'm missing?

Thanks

I did restart xbmc, but still no luck.

Make sure it is in the correct folder and not named advancedsettings.xml.txt

Can you pastebin the contents of the file and link to it?

Hi,

I think I may find a solution to your problem.

If you're using windows, there may be 2 destinations. One in Program Files and the other in AppData.

You want to put it in the AppData folder.

To access 'XBMC - userdata' in AppData folder, do this step:

Go on Start
Type %APPDATA%\XBMC\userdata
press <Enter>
