Hi,

I've been playing with UMS and Showtime for a while, but I've noticed that the .conf for Showtime is 11 months old, i think it's a lot regarding continuous development of Showtime.

I think it would be a good think to update this configuration file, so Showtime on PS3 can be used at full power.

In those file you tell what Showtime can do with files and what kind of files it accepts.

One thing that I've managed to add is section so it receives external subtitle info.

Anyone want to add something ?

CaptionSec.info is specific to Samsung TV. I suppose better to use "SupportedSubtitlesType =" - check PS3.conf :

# SupportedSubtitlesType: Comma-separated list of text-based subtitle formats
# supported by the renderer.
#
# Supported formats: File extension:
# SUBRIP .srt
# ASS .ass or.ssa
# TEXT .txt
# MICRODVD .sub
#
# E.g. "SupportedSubtitlesType = SUBRIP,ASS,MICRODVD"
#
# SupportedSubtitlesType =

# UseClosedCaption: Some renderers use the "sec:CaptionInfoEx" parameter to
# stream external subtitles.
# Supported subtitles are defined in SupportedSubtitlesType.
#
# Default value is false.
UseClosedCaption =

# SubtitleHttpHeader: Some devices recognize a custom HTTP header for
# retrieving the contents of a subtitles file. Set this option to the name of
# that custom header and UMS will send the URL for the subtitles file in that
# header (e.g. Samsung devices recognize the "CaptionInfo.sec" header).
# Default value is "", which means UMS will not send such header information.
SubtitleHttpHeader =

Doesn't work, subtitles are not send to Showtime when there is no "SubtitleHttpHeader = CaptionInfo.sec".
