XBMC not displaying .srt subtitles (Windows and Linux)
#1
Setup:
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, 2.6.32-21-generic x86_64
Manually built SVN revision: 29939
CPU: Core2 Duo Mobile T9300 (2.5 GHz)
Video: ATI Mobility Radeon HD3650

Issue:
.srt subtitle files are not being displayed by any of my XBMC builds. They are, however, being displayed in Movie Player, VLC, etc.

I have three builds:
Windows 7 (Desktop) - XBMC 9.11 R26017
Lucid (Laptop - mostly used for testing) - SVN 29939
Jaunty (Primary display version - my HTPC) - XBMC 9.11 R26018

None of these builds will ever display .srt subtitles. They will all display embedded subtitles. I've tried all my external subtitle files in Movie Player and VLC (VLC was tested on Windows and Linux), and all my external subs work.

I've tried using OpenSubtitles_OSD (v1.5 and v1.52) and downloading subs while in a movie, and that doesn't work either.

The subs are always named exactly the same as the video file (with the obvious exception of the file extension).

Things to note:
Yes, I've enabled subs in the audio settings (press 'M' to bring up).
Yes, I've manually browsed to subtitle files during playback.
Yes, my .srt files work in other players (Movie Player, VLC (on Linux and Windows))
Yes, I can clearly see the subtitle horizontal line in Video Calibration.

Please, someone, help me figure this out. I am nearly deaf and cannot watch a movie without subtitles.

Have you tried anything other than .iso or other DVD files? eg. .avi, .mkv etc.

Cheers,

Yes, I have tried .mkvs (.mkvs are how I rip my Blu-rays).

A log using them would be useful. One presumes "Enable subtitles" is on in the video OSD.
