#11772 closed Bug Report - General (Fixed)

Subtitle streams not available/shown for mp4 files

Reported by: John Finlay <finlay@…> Owned by: Jim Stichnoth

Description

When I create (using HandBrake?) mp4 files from recorded programs I include the closed captions as a subtitle stream. VLC is able to display the subtitles but in MythTV the subtitles are not available to be displayed. I have attached a short file containing subtitles that MythTV does not make available.

The subtitle stream is the tx3g format, which MythTV doesn't (yet) support.

I was wrong, MythTV does indeed support this format.

These subtitles work properly in Master but not 0.26, so it appears that it's most likely a gap in earlier versions of ffmpeg used in versions 0.26 and before.
