Hi I cant' display DVB subtitles on VDR.
I'm using:
VDR
1.7.15
xine 0.9.3
source: iptv-plugin 0.4.2 (http://www.saunalahti.fi/rahrenbe/vdr/iptv/)(yaVDR 0.2)
on Asrock ION 330 HT
DVB Subutitles are enabled under System/Setup/DVB and Language chosen is Slovenski (Slovenian-SLV).
The
iptv plugin detects the subtitles pid in question
(System/Plugins/iptv/Info but no matter what I do, the channel in
question returns "No subtitles available"
The plugin passes mpeg2/4 stream directly to VDR and it does it superbly (
HDTV great, EPG great, Channel switching fast, Stable, Teletext...)
My IPTV (T-2, Slovenia) provider uses udp multicast and I can watch all the programs in
VLC, with subtitles, ttx... This is the m3u playlist for VLC:
http://www.rula.net/t2/t2tv.m3uThis is the line in VLC playlist for
HBO:
#EXTINF:0,8 - HBO

Those
are lines from channels.conf, I started experimenting with HBO and
tried a lot of variations(realy alot :). I still think I'm messing
something up wit the syntax.

If I record the video with VDR and run dvbsnoop |grep 7302
(subtitles id) I get no results (dvbsnoop can't analyze live iptv
streams). I also dumped the stream with mplayer and tried playing back
the video, but there were no subtitles (record subtitles is checked in
options). But because this is the first time I ran dvbsnoop and even
after reading dvbsnoops man pages, I'm not sure if I did everything
right. I'm also not very good with mplayer, so i ran with -alang, maybe
I'm doing something wrong?
Another problem is, that if I mess
with DVB update channels (update pid, pid and names, names only,
transponder...) I sometimes lock the
HBO channel (no a/v and OSD "Channel Locked). Also when checking dvbsnoop I noticed some lines with CA (i think it stands for
Conditional Access)
in them. But recently I can't reproduce that behaviour no matter what I
do. But I'm paying for HBO and I can watch it in VLC and (most of the
times) in VDR.
Running
iptv-plugin with "EXT" and using VLC in VDR does not work (A/V OK, but
again no subtitles). Also it seems a bit "crashy", so I would rather get
it working this way.
So far I read the man pages for VDR, VDR wiki in english, some pages in german and IPTV plugin readme. I searched the net, vdr-portal.de
and this mailig list for subtitles, untertitel, dvb subtitles problems,
etc, but I could not find the answer. I posted this question on
vdr-portal: http://www.vdr-portal.de/board/thread.php?threadid=99300
and spent some time in the vdr irc channel (thank you again nox), but
no matter what I do, I can't get those pesky DVB subtitles to display.I
tried hts tvheadend, mythtv and even media portal but they are all
flawed in one way, or the other. But because VDR is in a league of its
own, I'm bothering all of you. VDR has no problems with 1080i/p
channels, fast channel switching and even I can't crash it. Also yaVDR
0.2 is realy practical.
Because this is the first time I came
into contact with DVB, IPTV, SID's, PID's, etc, I'm probably doing
something wrong and any help is deply appreciated.
