Yet Another Forced Subtitles Question (Clown_BD)

No Forced Subtitles on Bluray (Clown_BD)

Hey Guys-

I know this question has been asked over and over. I have been searching the forums from here to Doom9 to MediaPortal and on and on for the better part of two weeks and have yet to find a solution.

Typically, I use "Rip to Image" to create an ISO. I then mount the ISO with CloneDrive and use Clown_BD to make movie-only rips (Bluray format) with highest level audio track and copy the result to the server. I play those back using MediaPortal with the Bluray Handler PlugIn and SAF 5.00.

As the title indicates, I'm not getting forced subtitles.

The first movie I have noticed it on is Angels & Demons. This disc seems to have a very complex structure which is probably complicating things. I checked The DaVinci Code next and there are none there either. I haven't checked Avatar but I'm guessing the result is the same. Fortunately I only have about 10 blurays ripped so far. Obviously I want to make sure this is corrected before I keep going.

From what I have found here: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=146412&page=2 it seems as if there may be a flag that can be set to enable them during playback. I tried every option in the utility provided in that thread to no avail. I'm beginning to question if this info is even accurate at this point.

I have tried re-ripping several times in Clown_BD and nothing seems to work. I have the initial subtitles box "greyed" which as I understand should select only the forced subs which is all I want. I am NOT interested in ANY other subs. Though I find in step 3, all english subs are selected and I am leaving it that way. As you can see in the screenshot here: http://ScrnSht.com/xfjyew


Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm tearing my hair out here....:bang:

Thanks in advance!!!

What happens if you try playing back the movie only blu-ray structure on a local machine with TMT or PDVD? IF it works there then it's obviously a media portal issue ignoring the forced subs. I've made movie only backups of all 3 movies and my forced subs play back fine in TMT and PDVD
 
OK...so the forced subs DO show in PDVD 9.5. The copy of TMT I have is too old to work on my x64 laptop so I couldn't try that. I tried the same files on MPC-HC and there are NOT subs there either so it's not exclusive to the MePo player.

At least I have a place to start now. Thank you.

EDIT: After enabling "HDMV Embedded Subtitle" in MPC-HC they are displaying. Guess I have to look for this type of setting in MePo...

EDIT:
This is a screenshot from GraphEdit with it working in MPC-HC: http://ScrnSht.com/lcauzj

If anyone sees this and has an idea PLEASE let me know. Thanks!!
