Subtitles are out of sync (they are to late). Are there any settings that can adjust the timing of the subtitles?

Thanks

Hi Kent,

You are probably the first one to use version 1.4.0. Have you compile from
the branch ?

I will look into it but i don't have subtitle in my city so I can not play
with it. Is the delay very long or only a couple of seconds (it will help
me to figure out from where the delay is generate). Can you test it (the
subtitle) with an other system/software ?

Cheers,
Fred

Hello,

yes I compiled from branch (on dec 19).

I have measured the delay to approx. 3 secs with Me TV. I have switched to both Kaffeine and VLC and they have no delay on the same broadcasts.

Can't I put settings in ~/.me-tv/xine.config to adjust the timing?

Thanks,
Kent Knudsen

Hi again,

Is it 3sec too late or too soon (the subtitle before or after the video) ?

Can you try with version 1.3.6 ? Since 1.4, the architecture of the program
is really different (client/server based). Maybe the delay is coming from
the communication between the client and the server so trying with and old
stable version will tell me more info.

Changing configuration in xine.config won't do any good because me-tv 1.4
is base on VLC instead of Xine. Since the code for xine is still there you
can change the default engine in the file me-tv.cc line #36 for "xine" (or
"gstreamer") before compiling to see if the delay is still there.

Thanks for your time,
Fred
