As for subtitle streams, as I understand, they are handled not by a DSplayer itself but by a splitter filter. Try to set up your splitter. E.g. AVsplitter allows you to select default languages for audio and subs.

Thanks for your reply, however - you're mistaken. dsplayer is in control of the splitter, not the other way around:

Not quite true. DSplayer indeed ignores XBMC language settings, however choosing appropriate languages (eng/eng for me) in AVsplitter setting works. As for external subs, I agree that they should be given priority.

Many bugs etc are only fixed here where a dev has a particular interest in resolving it, If they have no desire to use the function they may choose to ignore it where it doesn't impact on them.

True. Anyway, I passed the info a while ago, and the rest does not depend on me.
