H.265/HEVC issue with EVR and subtitles

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I'm using LAV filter (splitter, audio, video) with WMC (Windows 7) together 
with VSFILTER and it works like a charm (so the graph is Lav splitter -> Lav 
Video decoder -> DirectVobSub (auto-load) -> EVR).
Now the issue: while it's all working good with H264 encoded movies, VSFilter 
is not loaded/connected if the movie in encoded with H.265/HEVC.
I have tried the same graph in MPC-HC (old version where you can deselect all 
internal filters) and got the same issue. Subtitles are rendered only if EVR 
Customer presented is used for output (in this case I assume is the player that 
is processing subs).

And this is a LAV issue because?
Report it to VSFilter if it isn't working, I don't control it.

I assumed it was somthing wrong with splitter and/or decoder since I checked 
and VSFilter register for any format so it should be loaded for H264 and H265. 
The strange thing is VSfilter is loaded for H264 and not for H265.
Thanks anyway for reply.

This issue does not exist if you use a recent version of MPC-HC. Those use LAV 
Filters as internal filters, but you can still disable them if desired.

For WMP/WMC you need to apply a tweak to make VSFilter load.
