Unable to play with VLC

[Paul Thornett]

Running on Windows 7, I use these options when using get_iplayer:
tvmode=hlshd
raw=1
subtitles=1

With GIP 3.13 I am unable to use VLC to play any downloaded .ts file!
They all load and play fine using VideoRedo TVSuite 5.3.83.763. But
attempting to play them with VLC results in the progress bar at the
bottom of the screen flashing yellow while sweeping back and forth
across the entire progress bar, with CPU usage ranging from 1% to 25%.

The MP4 and M4A files produced by get_iplayer play fine in VLC. What
advantages do you gain from using the raw .ts files instead?

Problem solved! VLC can't cope with subtitle files containing colour
directives. I've only recently started requesting subtitles (in fact,
when v3.13 came out).

This is a known limitation of VLC, and it is unrelated to colour
subtitles. Any external subtitles file can cause the problem. If you
are wedded to .ts files for some reason, try another media player.
