#8603 closed patch (fixed)

EIA-608 closed captions don't start automatically

Description

With analog closed captions enabled by default (DefaultCCMode=1 and PreferCC708=0), they often become disabled immediately after the start of playback. I believe this happens on ATSC recordings when the first cc packet encountered is EIA-708 and then shortly after an EIA-608 cc packet is found. The second call to NVP::SetCaptionsEnabled? calls NVP::DisableCaptions?(kDisplayCC708) which calls osd->EnableSubtitles?(kDisplayNone).

The attached patch fixes this behavior, though I don't know if it's the best solution.

(In [25702]) Improved subtitle track re-initialisation after the decoder detects new streams.

Only trigger changes if the player determines that a different track type is now preferred and disable the existing subtitle type first.

Finally, fix the DisableCaptions? function to ensure we don't inadvertently disable captions that are actually meant to be visible.
