Hi,
I am using xbmc-r32375-Dharma on an Acer Revo R3610 (Windows 7 32 bit, Chinese edition). With the recent fix in subtitle rendering, displaying English subtitles no longer make the video stutter or pixelate. However, displaying (traditional) Chinese subtitles still make the video stutter/pixelate when a subtitle first appear. My question: with Dharma nearly done, is there any plan to improve subtitle rendering speed, either by buffering ahead, or changing the subtitle rendering resolution (to be different from display resolution), like in MPC-HC? I think the current method, where characters are buffered after the initial appearance, works well for languages like English, but not for eastern languages like Chinese or Japanese.
Right now I use the DSPlayer branch and set the subtitle resolution to 960 by 540, and the video does not stutter at all when displaying Chinese subtitles (the subtitle engine renders the characters about 10 seconds ahead of the video).
