Question about subtitle selection - _Daniel_ - 2012-10-06

Hello,

I have a simple question about the subtitle selection in XBMC.
Let us assume we habe the following files

Example Movie
- Example movie.mkv
- Subs
-- Example movie.idx
-- Example movie.sub

I have to admit that I don’t really know much about subtitles so I have done some research today. If I have done it right the .idx-File just contains timestamps and the reference to the .sub-File and the .sub-file contains “Bitmap-Subtitles” (or something like that). So the .idx-File and the .sub-File contains together ONE Subtitle.
When I now look at the movie in XBMC it tells me that there are two subtitles (the .mkv movie does not contain any subtitles!).
I had done some more test like that:

Example Movie2
- Example movie2.mkv
- Subs
-- Example movie2.de.idx
-- Example movie2.de.sub
-- Example movie2.en.idx
-- Example movie2.en.sub

The example above had two subtitles (if I understood it right). XBMC say that there are four.

Now my question is: Is this a Bug, did I understood something wrong or do I have configured something wrong?

Thanks!

Sounds like a bug.
