Reproduction Steps

Play the ts file and enable subtitles, which are in format EIA-608. They are not displayed.

Expected Behavior

Display subtitles.

Actual Behavior

Not displayed.

Sample Files

600.ts.zip

I carefully read all instruction and confirm that I did the following:
  • I tested with the latest mpv version to validate that the issue is not already fixed.
  • I provided all required information including system and mpv version.
  • I produced the log file with the exact same set of files, parameters, and conditions used in "Reproduction Steps", with the addition of --log-file=output.txt.
  • I produced the log file while the behaviors described in "Actual Behavior" were actively observed.
  • I attached the full, untruncated log file.
  • I attached the backtrace in the case of a crash.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the missing EIA-608 subtitles with the attached 600.ts sample while enabling subtitles in mpv. Trace the subtitle handling path for EIA-608 data in MPEG-TS and compare it with formats that display correctly; done means the sample's subtitles are rendered as expected.
