hi was originally on build vu solo 2 receiver and use subtitles a fair bit and have now upgraded to image 5.3.039 and now notice that the subtitles don`t carry on when timeshift is used but was working originally on an older image cant remember which as was over a year old and finally bit the bullet to upgrade image?
basically have to switch off and then back on again to enable everytime timeshift is used?
have i missed something at all?
hope someone can help?

Not sure what's likely to have caused that. There's been no recent changes to subtitles, but we did fix some bugs that were causing problems with subtitles getting out of sync about 6 months ago. This might be a contributing factor.

.... I had a go with default settings, and they certainly do stop as reported.

this has been happening for quite a while.last time this happened was on a later build a few years ago.same thing, subs would stop on pause and have to turn off and on again to reappear.

i have managed to deduce the last working image that had no problems with the timeshift issue was 5.2.045?

Actually your 1st post" says have now upgraded to image 5.3.039 and now notice that the subtitles don`t carry on when timeshift is used" 5.3.039 was released over 2 years ago - so not easy to find what changed - "if" that was 1st broken release.
So what setting do you actually change to (re)start sub titles??

Wasn't 5.3.039 released around about 19th July 2020?

I'm using OpenViX 5.3.039 (2020-07-19) and this is still an issue. Turning off subtitles and then on again fixes this for the current session. What's much more annoying for me is recorded shows are way out of sync and I find it virtually impossible to get that right. In addition, changing settings in 'subtitle delay when timing lacks' and ''subtitle delay when timing is bad' results in live programming subtitles being incorrect because of the latter adjustments. Is a reversion to an earlier image version the only solution and if so which one? Thanks

Post #10 mentions a 2 year old "working" version.

What channels is this happening on? Please give actual examples.

Also, if you have an XTrend box, their drivers are buggy as hell and this makes subtitles unreliable on playback - live TV is fine. I don't think they can have tested subtitles whilst they were developing their software.

i have managed to deduce the last working image that had no problems with the timeshift issue was 5.2.045?

as before the 5.2.045 was last working timeshift subtitle that was working when paused and carry on working when played.my box is a solo 2 with this current version as i need the subtitles working and would prefer to upgrade if the timeshift subtitles disappearing can be fixed?
also would like to add that the mods have helped me a lot over the years and do a great job fixing issues when known?

I'm seeing this as well with my Duo 4K SE. It's running 5.4.014. Tried it on Freeview BBC HD and C4 HD. Not tried it on Satellite yet.

This is the same on all channels.
Only version at moment with timeshift subs is OpenViX 5.2.045.
The newest versions openvix-6.0.006.release still do not have working subs when timeshift is stopped have to swap channels and start again otherwise.
very frustrating as been so long (2019-07-17) since last worked properly!

tried the new 6.0.007 on vu sol 2 today same problem on the timeshift disappearing on pause.
i am surprised it is still a problem after all this time (over 2 years)but still remains so unfortunately.

I found it straight away in PLi...

5.3.015.004 (Dev) works.

5.3.016.001 (Dev) doesn't.

Maybe.....

@CCS, can you explain the problem? How do I reproduce it?

@CCS, can you explain the problem? How do I reproduce it?

Select a tv channel with reliable subtitles, switch subtitles on, wait until they appear, press pause to enter timeshift, wait for the screensaver, press pause again. No subtitles.

The screensaver is just a convenient time to wait, subtitles still fail if you start playing again before it appears.

This debug log is bbc1 hd live news, but subtitles are available.

Here's a debug log from 6.1.000.000 (Dev), subtitles disappear after pausing and restarting timeshift.

And, for completeness, here it is working in 5.3.015.004 (Dev)...

(Post #27 was 5.3.016.001 (Dev))

Can you undo that commit and retry?

You can't just use the old version. You would need to undo it manually.

I'll see, there are 4 files to change.

No need to touch the keymap (and probably not ButtonSetup) for testing.

taking out the change in InfoBarGenerics looks to fix the issue

@Zenith plus All
can you test attachment by copying into /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Screens
preferably stop box before
putty, log in and enter init 4 (space between)
copy file as above
putty, enter init 6 (space between)

both setting subtitles in timeshift (pause/play) should work, but also long press subtitle to toggle on/off
