Subtitles not working with GPU acceleration

Post by Lincon »

Hello everyone,,
Last couple of days I've been busy trying to get UMS to display subtitles properly on my PS4, and for the life of me, I couldn't figure out what it was.
After a couple of clean installs, and enabling features one by one, I figured that with "GPU acceleration" enabled, for some reason, subtitles are not shown.

I've attached the debug log.
Last 3 attempts to play the videofile for "Skyscraper" (don't judge me ;) ), have been with, respectively, GPU acceleration off, on, and off, again.

Anyone any ideas?
Obviously I'll keep the feature disabled, for now, but maybe this info is useful for devs, anyway..

I think you forgot to actually attach the log.

Even if you do, it doesn't seem to happen too often that one of the important guys looks into issues here.

Thanks alot, Lincon, that at least solved a small part of my subtitle related problems: When using MEncoder with GPU acceleration enabled, subtitles would be shown when starting to play a file but vanish when fast forwarding. They wouldn't show at all when using FFmpeg. After disabling GPU acceleration they (the few at all working .srt-files) work with both engines and even survive fast forwarding.
