[vdr] Digital+ subtitles

[<jvilasub@tinet.org>]

Hi all,

apparently Digital+ doesn't use standard format for subtitles on both 
satellites (Astra and Hispasat). What I get, using all the plugins I've 
been able to find, is always a subset of them, meaning unfinished 
sentences, and similar effects.

I've tried on two different installations of VDR, both v1.2.4, but also 
tried other versions, so I guess it's not a VDR issue.

But, to be sure, I'd like to ask you guys, is this the case for all of 
you? Could anyone verify this with your installations? Check teletext 
pages 801, 802 and 888.

My observations until now point that spanish subtitles come on page 801 
but, when a phrase is not there, it appears on page 802, which should 
be reserved for english subtitles, or, eventually, on page 888. 
Sometimes, phrases are just lost.

Questions:
1. I'm "pesdumping" TPID but I don't know where to start checking what 
can be wrong in its output. Does anyone know what format is being used 
and what I should be reading in order to implement a plugin for VDR to 
display them correctly?
2. Where should I be modifying VDR's code in order to make it send 
to /var/log/messages the received teletext lines for all the pages? Is 
it possible to be done or VDR just doesn't process them to this detail 
level?

To finish, is anyone interested in the pesdump version for the new DVB 
drivers? It's no big deal, but as it's already done...

Thank you all.
