[Confirmed] Live Subtitles work on mkv files but not mp4/avi

[mookieguy]

Subject pretty much says it all. This is on a PS3 with the latest version of UMS. Tested on a tv episode with both an mkv version and an mp4 version. mkv live subs worked, mp4 live subs = no subs show. Tested with both ffmpeg and mencoder as the primary engine. Logs attached.

You may convert mkv to mp4 or avi. As video conversion, you may use this free video converter
I have tried, it is free and it can worked

Indeed. I could also just go to subscene or opensubtitles myself and download subs because they work that way with avi/mp4 files, but I would prefer to not have to do either of these things.

This is still broken with the newest version: 5.1.0

With MEncoder as the top priority engine, Live Subtitles will display properly on mkv files, but with avi/mp4 files the file plays, but no subtitles are shown.

With FFmpeg as the top priority engine, mkv files will not even play when attempting Live Subtitles: This content cannot be played. (800288E1)

In a possibly related bug, FFmpeg will play mkv files with external subtitles (idx/sub) just fine, displaying subtitles properly. But with mkv files that have subtitles contained within the mkv container the files will not even play when selecting the subtitled file in the "Transcode" folder: This content cannot be played.

Log files from both MEncoder and FFmpeg attached.
