Hoi,
I'm a new user of xbmc, and everything works really nice (great app!), except viewing videos with subtitels.
Without subtitles everything works really well and the videos just play smoothly. As soon as i enable subtitles in a movie, the video begins to kind of freeze, as soon as a subtitle appears in the screen. As the text dissapears the video runs smoothly again. The bigger the size of the font, the heavier the slowdown.
I tested several versions of xbmc, and though I have rather old hardware, i have the idea this is not the cause, because in xbmc Eden the movies with subtitles just run fine. In self compiled frodo, and git, and in the frodo version that comes from the package from ubuntu the problem is present. (using Eden for me is further not an option as several add-ons do not work )
My question: is there a known cause for this, and can i somehow work around this problem by adding fonts/ install packages / configure options in compilation?
Thanks in advance.
Hardware specs: Nvidia Geforce 440 Go with drivers from nvidia.com (note, i cannot use the drivers from ubuntu, do not work on my computer)
Eppo
