Shouting is usually a good idea if you want to make sure that nobody answers.

Just curious: How do create the idx files?

Yes, this is ticket #7117.

No, the subtitles use the input resolution of hd1080 but this size
is not stored in the subtitle stream and the default size is pal
(that gets stretched to match the video size).

I suspect it should work if you produce smaller subtitles (pal).
