Apparently, the reason that ssa subtitles loaded correctly in the 2/1 build was because that build didn't attempt to load the subs at all. One user in the other thread got the idea that it might be due to a resource called SWScaler from his logs, but failed to notice the more relevant:
20:12:59 T:155279360 M:107581440 DEBUG: Loading: /private/var/stash/Applications/XBMC.frappliance/XBMCData/XBMCHome/system/players/dvdplayer/libass-arm-osx.so
I decided to be a smartypants, and went in through WinSCP and renamed libass so that it wouldn't be found when called, and lo and behold, subtitles displayed again, without formatting, and prefaced with a comma. I noticed two glaring differences in this build from the 2/1 build however.
1. In the 2/1 build, the subtitles stayed on screen until they were replaced by another string. In this build, they displayed only for their specified duration, and did disappear in between strings of dialogue as they are supposed to.
2. The subs caused MASSIVE lag, and eventually froze my ATV. lol.
I'm no programmer, but some smart fella (or gal) out there must know or be able to find out what's going on. I'm sure I can't be the only person interested in this.
we quit looking into it, because davilla already knows what's wrong... the fix just has to be implemented. I actually had already figured out what you had =P (might've been a different thread)
