Hi, Apologies if this has already been spotted. I searched but couldn't find.
I have a problem with inconsistent handling of vob subtitle streams. Some are shown and some are not even though we are talking about different episodes of a TV season, ripped using identical settings.
I have a number of TV seasons, each ripped from DVD to a single vob, usually with a single audio stream and only the english subtitle stream. Each file has the "mpg" extension, rather than "vob", but it's still an mpeg2 container. I rip in batch, so all episodes from the same disc have the same rip setttings.
When I play through the "TV Shows" interface I find that some episodes show subtitles and some do not, even though the settings show that a stream is present and subtitles are enabled.
Intriguingly, it tends to be the first episode in a list that doesn't show, with the subsequent ones being fine. That is, in a folder with episodes named "1x01.mpg" and so on, only 1x01 will not show the subs but 1x02 and after will do it fine. Is this an issue with my naming convention or something in XBMC?
Best,
N
