DVB subtitles won't disappear in time

Can you post a short recording that will allow me to test the problem with the new code. Dropbox, google drive or a fileshare site would do. It sounds like something is different between the way broadcasters in the UK and Finland compose their live subtitles, which is compounded by Vix ignoring the subtitle timeouts.

I'm a bit unsure about copyright issues if I share a clip, would love to help though.

And just to clarify terms, when I say "live" I don't mean news or sports events. I mean normal tv, like series or movies. And it's the same with recordings. I have never seen a actual live event with dvb subs so have no idea how they behave here.

So basically someone in the UK would test the proper live subs and we have the "normal" kind here.

The problem is that the commit was fine for the UK, it's not fine for Nordic channels.

Don't worry about the copyright. It should fall under fair usage, you'd be sharing privately and I only need a maximum of a 5 minute clip. Send me the url in a private message if you're concerned.

The changes I made were to address unusable subtitles on news and sports events on UK broadcasts whether watched as they're broadcast, or as a recording. The changes didn't have any adverse effects on normal subtitles, so I'm a bit stuck without an example!
