Hi. I noticed that dvb subtitles not recorded with video. Can anyone confirm that it works?
My environment: Slackware-11.0, kernel 1.6.19, vdr-1.4.4-3 with vdr-1.4.4-liemikuutio-1.13.diff, vdr-1.4.4-subtitles-0.4.0-and-ttxtsubs-0.0.5.diff
Recorded teletext subtitles are ok. Tried on YLE1 and YLE2 channels (for me these only available channels with both subtitles types). ProjectX demux not detect dvb subtitles too.
Or I missed something?
Regards, AK

Hi,
I have a similar setup and yes, DVB subtitles are recorded. I don't use ttxtsubs at all (only the DVB ones).
However, I have noticed that recently, on some recordings, there are long pauses for subtitles (1-5 minutes, haven't taken time actually) and then suddenly all (?) subtitles that should have been shown previously are shown for about 0.1s each, and then subtitles resume normally. More specifically, I had this problem with Cold Lazarus series that I recorded from YLE Teema on 28.12.2006, and possibly with some others IIRC. But it doesn't bother me much, so I didn't note which recording it was.
This is similar to the behavior I have always got when I jump in a recording with dvb subtitles, but then the pause is usually ~30s, max. 1 minute. It is as if the subtitles are in blocks and displaying them can only resume at the end/start of a block.
My environment: Slackware-11.0, kernel 1.6.19, vdr-1.4.4-3 with vdr-1.4.4-liemikuutio-1.13.diff, vdr-1.4.4-subtitles-0.4.0-and-ttxtsubs-0.0.5.diff
I have : - Gentoo - kernel 2.6.19 - probably you too ;) - VDR 1.4.4_p2 - skinelchi - subtitles-0.4.0 - (and ttxtsubs-0.0.5_p2, but I don't use them) - loads of other plugin, for example dxr3
ProjectX demux not detect dvb subtitles too.
I have never tried projectX or any other means to convert the recordings made by VDR to other formats. But I'd guess this could be a ProjectX issue, but if VDR can't replay subtitles from your recording, then theres something wrong with your setup (a missing patch or something). I strongly recommend using Gentoo for VDR.

I know that it sounds stupid, but after upgrading to 1.4.5 subtitles recording works flawlessly. Maybe just because of restart.

Of course, silly typo (1.6.19- hyvää Luoja!). :)

I hope, this is not necessary. Slack is fine too. ;)

For what it is worth, I haven't had any problems with subtitles since 1.3.38 or something, which was the last time when the DVBsubs.patch of the vdr-subtitles plugin needed to be adjusted. Last night, I upgraded straight from 1.4.3 to 1.4.5, and there weren't any conflicts related to the DVB subtitles.
To be honest, I do have one problem with DVB subtitles: when there are multilingual subtitles (for instance, Finnish and Swedish) in a recording, vdr seems to pick the language at random when playing back the recording. Sometimes it even switches the language on the fly. This doesn't happen in live playback. When I asked the author of the plugin (Pekka Virtanen) about this a long time ago, he said that the fix would require some user interface changes.

So is Debian GNU/Linux (unstable). I'm using self-built kernel, DirectFB, ffmpeg, vdr and plugins. I believe that the Debian packaged ones would be good by now, unless you need some special patches to vdr. Even then, you could probably apply the patches to the Debian source package and build your own binary package.
