Player can't display overlapping subs

Hi there,

Some videos come with multiple subs in the same or overlapping timespan, but the current player firmware just scrolls quickly through each single line.

Is it possible to display them correctly?

E.g. a fansub would have the dialogue running, but also any foreign language labels in the background. These would flicker through on the WDTV, but not in a software player (MPCHC nor VLC).

hate to say it, but i found this in the “Archived” section  (and issue reports, are dead links … expired)
