I've found a bug in the code for the display of the CC3 captions in the "Select VBI CC" menu (the 608 captions).
The fix for this bug does fix the CC3 captions for both the "frida.ts" and the "loli.ts" clips.
In both of these clips the CC3 choice is displayed as "CC3: Unknown" but this actually does select the English subtitles.
If my understanding of the code is correct then the "Select VBI CC" / "CC3: xxx" choice does never show anything for anybody.
As I cannot receive ATSC channels myself I would like to hear if this is really the case before I commit the fix.
