Full Version: Can't Turn Off Subtitles When Playing Movies

Switched over to the new MC360 release and it's great, but I've had an issue with it that i didn't have with the old T3 release. Wheenver I start a movie, it ALWAYS defaults to having subtitles on. I can switch to audio settings and turn them off, and have tried to "save" it to make it permanent, but it always defaults back to turning them back on.

I've seen a few old posts with people having similar problems -- no solutions.

Does anyone have any ideas?

I can semi-solve the problem by ripping the movies with shrink and taking out the subtitles, but that's kind of a PITA..

Any ideas?

Thanks..\

(fyi - i posted this on the MC360 site and blackbolt told me that this was a XBMC issue, not a MC360 issue -- and closed it - even though I didn't have this problem in the earlier release)

I have the same problem. Does anyone have any ideas?

First:
Blackbolt was right. This has nothing to do with MC360.

I also see you mentioning MC360 release and T3 release. There is no such thing as an MC360 release and T3 release. There is only XBMC and additional skins.
Try switching back and forth from one skin to another and notice that the issue will remain.
It has nothing to do with the skin.

Second:

To disable the subtitles:
- Play a movie
- Press start for OSD
- Go to audio settings
- Disable 'enable subtitles'
- Click on 'save as default for all movies'

If this does not work:
- Boot from alternate dash
- Remove \XBMC folder
- Remove XBMC savegames
- Clear X, Y and Z
- Re-copy latest T3CH Release to \XBMC

Or try the simplified but less effective:

- Boot from alternate dash
- Remove XBMC savegames
- Clear X, Y and Z

Try and open the guisettings.xml found in XBMC\UserData\ and find this in it

and then restart xbmc

This problem had been driving me nuts for a couple months now, but the latres T3CH build seems to have fixed it for me without any editing of a xml file.
RolfLobker
Well... latest t3ch build most likely also means new guisettings.xml smile.gif
