xbmc.Player().setSubtitles not working ?!?

Hi All

I’m using 17.0-RC3 via osmc on my RPi2.

For some reason showing subtitles by the xbmc.Player().setSubtitles(filename) doesn’t seem to work consistently on krypton (it did on kodi-16). My issue is specifically on the plugin.video.drnu addon, that don’t show subtitles anymore. In the addon an url to the subtitles is found (every time, I have checked), which is then passed to xbmc.Player().setSubtitles after it is checked that player.isPlaying().

But still no subtitles shown or in the osd. If I in the addon add a line to download the file from the found url and save it locally I can choose that file after the video has started and that works every time. Even if I use setSubtitles with this local file it doesn’t work…

I don’t see anything in the logs about the setSubtitles command.

Any ideas to why it doesn’t work? Anyone else with this issue?
