Hi folks 
I have an issue where I'm currently unsure if it's either a XBMC bug or a misconfiguration from my side.
Due to heavy input lag from my TV (around 250ms) I have set the following settings within advancedsettings.xml:
Now this fixes the audio/video sync issues I had (without the need to apply it for every movie/tv-show).
But it caused a little side-effect. Because of this setting, also the subtitles are getting delayed (in my opinion they shouldn't). Well, this is not such a big deal and rather unnoticeable for simple subtitles. But having movies with a lot of typesetting in them makes even the littlest delay recognizable.
I know there's the possibility to individually change the subtitle delay per-movie, but having to do this is rather uncomfortable.
Removing the video delay fixes the subtitle delay again.
So best thing to reproduce this is, of course, setting the above setting to a high value and playing a video with subtitles.
Finally my question is now, is this considered a bug? If not, is there a possibility to set and overall delay for subtitles (I haven't found anything suitable in http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=Advancedsettings.xml).
Some info about the movie I've been testing it with:
And before I forget it, here's a little summary of my setup:
Many thanks in advance

Edit:
Ok, this is rather embrassing. I forgot that you have the possibility to make make a setting of a single video the default for all videos, and of course, this also works for subtitles.
Exactly what I was looking for, probably I was too focused on the "advancedsettings.xml" thingy.
