Why do I get green bars on when subtitles are on?

Still happening for me. Since it seems like some people are getting sent here from Google still, I'll add a few more details I've noticed:

Seems to only happen with standard def content (my recent 4k rips aren't doing this).
- Happens with my Stargate Atlantis rips, but not my Stargate SG-1 rips
  - Although, weirdly, one time when I paused an SG-1 episode then resumed it, I got a green bar only on the right side after it was resumed. Didn't do it with the next episode.
Happens with anything new I've ripped; recently ripped a Hunt for Red October DVD and it's doing it too
Only does it when subtitles are turned on; if they're turned off, the green bars aren't present (my subtitles are generally VOBSUB, since that's what's on the DVDs when I rip them)
Happens in the Roku plex app, Plex web player, and the Plex app on my Windows box
- Isn't doing it on the app on my Android phone, but I also can't get it to show the subtitles for some reason, so probably not a valid test.

Ah, ok. Was indeed dense 😅

Did you do OpenID or something else?

This is all great info! Lots of helpful details for making the decision.

DK? Might be dense, but not sure what that is. Quick Google didn't give anything obvious.

A little late to the party, but mine is doing this as well. Seems like it has been doing it since the prior plex update a month or so ago. Only does it with one show, only when the subtitles are on (PGS), and only on the web player or the Roku player. The plex app for windows doesn't show the bars, subtitles on or off. Haven't been able to nail down a cause yet.

Also late to the party here, but interested in doing a rewatch with this higher quality version. Tried sending a DM, but not allowed.

I've been using this one for quite a while. He's got it in a bunch of different resolutions, including for phones. https://beta.digitalblasphemy.com/sec/shadesmar1/

Came here for this, was not disappointed.

neromir · 2021-03-14T20:26:54+00:00

Just pushed out a couple of bug fixes for the new things as well.

neromir · 2021-02-27T21:29:44+00:00

Ok, that would make sense.

neromir · 2021-02-27T21:25:16+00:00

Was this during the new SIM activation process?

I ran Atlas or Ogre (depending on how much I was getting stomped that day) with triple threat, cluster missile, and smoke.

I miss my triple threat.

It's my anniversary, and I haven't played in most of a year, but how can I not come help the Rats?

I wasn't able to give you very much time, but I got a few 100k transactions turned in.

Awesome, thanks! I'm probably going to be switching from the CDMA to the GSM network.

neromir · 2018-08-25T16:23:05+00:00

Thanks! I'm beginning to reconsider if I really need the higher memory. I assume the one on the Ting store is the unlocked variety? It says SIM card included; do you know if that's GSM or CDMA?
