subtitles don't work when trying to save locally
#1
Subtitles have been working great for several months up until recently. I can't pinpoint when it happened exactly but lately when I try and use the add-on, it finds subtitles from various sources but when I choose one it ends up resuming the video but without displaying subtitles.

After posting my DEBUG file (http://pastebin.com/xTXWiz8V) amet thankfully gave his conclusion:

Quote:You are trying to write to WebDAV location and that is read only on XBMC. Change the subtitle save location from "movie" to some writable folder on local drive

The only way I've been able to get this to work since this problem started is by setting a vustom subtitle download path as: var/mobile/Documents but this seems like a less desirable way to go but if it's the only way to have it work I will leave it at that.

I have tried choosing the option "Subtitle Download Folder Same As Movie" (which should be a writable folder but I'm not 100% sure) but this doesn't work. The SRT file isn't even being copied there, locally, where the movie is hosted. Seems to be some sort of permission error.

Any ideas?

As I said, WebDAV locations are read only in XBMC... Until something like https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/1567 is added to XBMC you will need to use local folder

Okay, I understand now. Thanks amet!
