Hi,
Besides DVB subtitle support, version 1.5.10 brought also support for nicer fast forward implementation. From the HISTORY file:
- Implemented sending all frames to devices that can handle them in fast forward trick speeds (thansk to Timo Eskola).
If I recall correctly, the original patch by Timo Eskola together with the subtitles plugin allowed also subtitles to be shown during fast forward. This nice functionality is missing from the current implementation. So, just to let you know... :)

There is no audio during fast forward, so why bother displaying subtitles?

Because subtitles can still be read at high speeds, while audio becomes very incomprehensible quite quickly?

I tend to fast forward recorded programs quite frequently (skip dull parts :) and it is very annoying that DVB-subtitles gets confused and misplaced after each fast forwarding action, it may take a long time before those are displayed again. I'd prefer "burned subtitles" because those are always displayed and always in synch of the programs itself regardless how you skip recording + or -. Really missing old VHS-tape age, never problems with subtitles what so ever.
Also I think people who are used to dubbed programs do not realise how wonderful it is to be able to turn down audio of televison program and just use subtitles to watch it bearly hearing the audio. Specially handy when you don't want to use headphones but be able to watch programs without disturbing others (audio down).
Effort to have DVB-subtitles syncronisation after fastforwarding is a very, very good feature, so to speak. Wanted behaviour is exactly as older "burned subtitles" way of working, always there.

There are plenty of tv shows are worth to watch only in double speed and with subtitles. :)
Just to remind, Timo's trickspeed patches for vdr-1.5.2 can be found here:
