As most of you know I'm a huge fan of the HTPC (although to be fair I am coming around on the extender concept - well as long as it's not connected to Xbox Live ;)), but one of the things that was missing is subtitle support that preserves hardware acceleration (HWA) for my HD mkvs.
If you use SageTV soon you'll be able to enjoy SRT subtitles alongside the lossless (FLAC) audio and HWA video.
A big thank you to Jeff (Narflex) for providing the necessary internal documentation, changing Sage to humor me, and answering all my newb questions about JNI.
I am so glad I started using Sage! Now for some "testing" :)
