sticky subtitles

[KiaraGrouwstra]

if i change the subtitle track while there is a subtitle showing on-screen, the existing subtitle seems to get stuck there.
i have tried stop and play, playing a different file in-between, and resetting the application.
presently, the one workaround seems turning the chromecast off and on again (unplug).
it would be nice it this bug would be prevented in the first place.

I've also encountered this problem in the last few weeks. Unfortunately, a Manjaro linux update came out today and now gnomecast is unable to find the chromecast on the local network so I can't provide more details.

Also experiencing the sticky subtitles issue with version 1.9.11. I've got a video showing 3 different sets of subtitles (all from different videos I previously loaded).

Another way I've figured out for clearing the subtitles is selecting a different chromecast device.

Closing gnomecast & selecting different videos does not reset the subs, and only adds to more sticky subs.

@keredson is there anything I can provide to you to help you find the cause of 'sticky subs'?

I've witnessed that intermittently myself. Maybe like 1/100 videos. Is it more frequent for you all? Or reproducible? It's pretty annoying. Yeah restarting the entire Chromecast is the only fix I've found, it's shockingly persistent.

Gnomecast only converts the subtitles to an srt file, then passes a url to the DefaultMediaPlayer already inside the Chromecast. Gnomecast is not doing any runtime display logic.

There was another subtitle bug a while back where it showed them top center on occasion. It did finally get fixed, but it took a long time.

Stack trace?

@keredson - i've reproduced it a number of times today consistently playing the same video files. I did downgrade some pip modules as referenced in this issue here to get gnomecast working (couldn't get chromecast devices list without this): #171

sometimes i get an error popup that says error in transcoding file but it still finishes and plays fine (except for the subs).

I have the same issue, it consistently freezes the last sub on the screen when switching video files. The only workaround I found is to power cycle the chromecast unit itself. Similar to @refrain I downgraded some pip packages in order for gnomecast to run correctly

would you perhaps have a pip freeze of a working configuration? then perhaps we can bisect to pinpoint the offending update.

Sorry no, I haven't been able to actually fix this
