Clipped closed captioning in mythvideos

[achew22+mythtv@…]

I have a few movies encoded in m4v. When I added them to my MythVideo?'s library and tried to play them, after turning on subtitles, only the top half of the 1st line on multi line subtitles and nothing on single line events.

I uploaded a brief clip (1:42) that demonstrates this, it can be found at ​http://drop.io/ikitvsh

Steps to recreate problem:

1. Download the file from ​http://drop.io/ikitvsh, the file is named "sample.m4v", into your MythVideo? storage group
2. Enter MythFrontend and then enter the "Watch Videos" page.
3. Scan for new media and play "sample"
4. Either use the hotkey "T" to turn on subtitles or use the menu Subtitles -> Toggle Subtitles

Expected result: For me I don't see any subtitles until 4 seconds into the recording. At this point I see the top half of the string "And right there--you can see it" (This is the first line of dialog I saw that was multi-line). At 8 seconds the subtitles go away (this line of dialog is brief enough that it can fit in one subtitle line).

To confirm that the subtitles are present and functional you can use VLC to play the file. To turn on subtitles in VLC, go to Video -> Subtitles track -> Track 1 [English]. After doing that you should be able to watch with subtitles enabled. You should see they are floating over the movie.

This is not MythVideo?, and these subtitles play fine, and fully onscreen in current trunk in VDPAU and OpenGL renderers. Xv cuts off outside of the video playback area, but as ever Xv should be avoided like the plague.

(In [26724]) Workaround for broken DVD subtitles that have not been properly resized when the associated video stream was resized during a format conversion.

In line with the existing XSUB fix, this cannot currently differentiate between NTSC and PAL and hence the positioning of NTSC originated subtitles may be a little strange. I'm looking at a framerate based improvement.

Refs #9077

[markk]

(In [26725]) Use the framerate as a hint to the original video size when fixing broken subtitle positioning.

Closes #9077
