I've been experiencing the strangest subtitles issue since around Eden alpha was released. On a rare occasion, the last couple of subtitles (sometimes only the last line, sometimes three or four last lines) for a movie are not displayed by XBMC. I'm using UTF-8 SRT subtitles (with BOM). Everything was working fine in earlier releases. I've checked the subtitles, they are not messed up - in fact, after you rewind the movie (even without stopping it first!) and watch the part with previously missing subtitles again, they are displayed correctly. This always happens near the end of the movie, never at the beginning or in the middle. Today it happened for like a fourth or fifth time for me (using Eden final running on Linux), which is what pushed me to write this post.
Collecting debugs is virtually impossible here - I'd have to enable debugging for every movie I watch and wait for 90 minutes or more, hoping for the issue to reoccur (there are no messages regarding subtitles in the logs without turning debugging on). That is why I'd like to ask fellow users if they have stumbled upon a similar issue and to ask the devs if something comes to their minds as for where such an issue could be sourced. Anyone?
