Description

Hi, I am using XBMC-pvr as a client (but also tried vlc with exactly the same results) and I a facing a subtitle problem with Sky Italy channels.

All movie channels (eg. Sky Cinema HD, etc) support 2 languages both for audio and subtitles. The audio part is fine and so is the first subtitles language (which, unfortunately happens to be italian).

When I switch to english subtitles, the results range from totally ok to nothing.
Sometimes (the channel is not important I get varying results even for the same channel from time to time), all english subtitles are rendered properly and on time.
Some other times, some (50%-80%) of the subtitles are rendered correctly and the rest just don't appear.
Finally, there are many times that no subtitles appear whatsoever (throughout a whole movie).
According to another post here, Sky Italy is using DVB subs (not teletext).

Any idea why this could be happening?

Any help would be appreciated.

I'm going to close this. There has been no update in 6 months, and both XBMC and TVH have changed considerably in that time period. It's entirely possible the problem has already gone away.

However if its still an issue let me know and I'll re-open.
