link above, but any of my recorded TV files have the same issue.

Additional information

Negative -delay option on (at least) the CLI doesn't work (empty .srt file). It did work on version 0.88. I recently updated to the latest version (0.93) and it no longer works. tried multiple files, and multiple negative values.

Positive delay options work fine (IE: -delay 1000)

This was fixed recently. You can try compiling the code from the master branch

Thanks. I saw that it had been fixed. Compiling is probably beyond me right now, so I will just wait for now.

.94 is up, so I am checking it out to make sure it works for me. Thanks!

I guess I will just stick with the old version. .94 doesn't work on some files at all, and only pulls a few minutes of captions on others.

This could be a bug. Could you create a new issue for it? With details about which files aren't working.

Also, there was a change in the flags. In 0.94 :-

if no params are provided:- extract whatever is available, if both(708 and 608) are available then extract both
If -1/-2 is provided:- extract only 608 subs
if -svc is provided:- extract only 708 subs
if both -1/-2 and -svc are provided:- extract both 608 and 708
