Hi
I'm using 11.0 on 3 different OS's plus a XBian.
Let's forget the XBian. XBMC subtitles used to work on all 3 systems (W7, OSX, Ubuntu) some months ago. I just can't remember which version......
Everytime it's upgraded it usually gets worse. Now it takes too long to download, too long to extract and either too long or forever to start playing the movie. The advanced settings don't change nothing. Subtitles are not recorded in the same folder as movie (actually they are not recorded anywhere as far as I can see) and it only checks from on site, others have to be checked manually, no matter the advanced settings configuration. Usually I can only download 1 subtitle (download to RAM!!!). If I want to check another subtitle I have to quit xbmc and restart it again. Many times, even if it says it's using a subtitle file, no subs will be appear......
This is really frustrating. XBMC subtitles is one of the most important reasons for me to use XBMC. The way it is since some months, I end up looking for subtitles on a browser, download it and put it in the movie folder and test it (for sync and such....) in vlc. If it works I use vlc to watch the movie. Nowdays I use XBMC only to keep the library updated.
With this in mind, I have 3 questions:
1) How to disable auto-update?
2) Which version was working in 11.0?
3) WTF are you doing to a piece of software that used to work flawlessly?
