[MPlayer-users] MPEG-TS subtitles

[Nico]

TS subtitles don't exists, because the scope of TS is not to define 
elementary stream formats.
In TS you can stream any kind of subs (DVD/DVB text/DVB SPU/ others) but 
at the
moment the only ones that can be shown are DVD ones, so either some 
company streams DVD subs
in their mux or you have to stream a DVD in TS.

You should first understand what kind of subs that broadcaster is using, 
and if it's
one of the formats supported by mplayer *MAYBE* I can arrange something, but
it's not very likely. Keep in mind that only SPU subs are treated like a 
stream, the
rest is a real mess that I don't dare to touch.

I plan to try a DVB SPU decoder if and when I have the time (that means: 
not now).
