Hi!
I have problem with YLE and subtitles. Subtitles work on "live", but can't see them when watching recording..
OK, If I have understand right the information what I found from net, that should be fixed at subtitles-0.5.0..
So.. I use gentoo and it's packeting system. How I can include this 0.5.0 version to my system, gentoo have only 0.4.0 version on it's repository.. Who is upkeeping vdr stuff at gentoo side... (OK, that "who" should insert vdr-1.4.7 too)
Is only solution to "override" whole gentoo packeting system and compile everything itself?

Yust zzam and me support the VDR and all the crap around this ;)
Sry for missing the "versions bump", a friendly reminder on
should help for this very fast.
btw. i am added the vdr-subtiltles-0.5.0 10 minutes ago to the CVS tree. Give the rsync server a half hour to sync from CVS, than can you emerge vdr-subtitles.
To update the VDR to 1.4.7 maybe this bug will be interresting for you.

You can also update to developer version vdr-1.5.x

Hi,
AFAIK vdr 1.4.7 doesn't fix the error with subtitles not being recorded (well, at least it's not in the changelog; OTOH I've understod that the problem lies in the plugin, but then again I tried vdr-subtitles 0.5.0 with vdr 1.4.6, and it had no effect). VDR 1.5.5 works fine for me in this aspect, at least for now (haven't tested it thoroughly yet though since I installed it only two days ago).
However, VDR 1.5.5 ebuilds in the overlay have a few problems (which is understandable since they are developing versions of the ebuilds). But, since recording subtitles is such a core feature for me (and probably for a lot of other people, too), I found it worthwhile to get 1.5.5 running. Here are the problems I needed to work around (hopefully I didn't forget anything):
text2skin: (I need text2skin, since I'm using DXR3 and no other skins are stable enough on DXR3. Also, on vdr 1.5.X, the default skin is totally garbled and unusable on a dxr3.). I needed to add the patch from this mailing list thread "updated text2skin for vdr-1.5.3 and enigma?" to the ebuild. Then it compiled and seems to work fine.
epgsearch: The current version does not compile against 1.5.X. There is 0.9.23_beta1 ebuild in vdr-1.5 overlay, however that is outdated, since the current beta is beta3, and the beta1 source is not anymore on the epgsearch site. Just copying the ebuld to beta3 (and doing 'ebuild X digest') solved that one - and probaly the ebuild will be renamed on the overlay soon, too =). Don't now if this beta has some nasty bugs, but at least the blue smoke is still inside my VDR =)
gentoo-vdr-scripts, locales, UTF-8 and Scandinavian characters (umlauts): After getting VDR 1.5.5 working, one quite annoying problem was left: all non-7-bit characters were displayed as ?-marks, if using gentoo-vdr-scrips (which I'm quite dependant for the functionality they provide, but unfortunately made for <1.5.0 in mind). I found that in /usr/share/vdr/rcscripts/pre-start-45-utf8-check.sh all locales are reset to POSIX; however, this makes VDR 1.5.5 misbehave. I modified the script so that LC_ALL and LANG are set to fi_FI.UTF-8, and now everything works like a charm.
subtitles: I needed to copy subtitles-0.4.0 to my local overlay as 0.5.0. But since it's officially in the Gentoo now, you shouldn't need to do this anymore.
One minor problem still remains, and that is with lcdproc: It expects characters in iso-8859-15, judging from what I can see on my LCD. But I can live with that. Also, the iMon driver for lcdproc or the LIRC modules are unstable for some reason on my box, anyways - the LCD just hangs after 1-x hours of viewing. But that's another issue. (btw. I have an Antec Fusion case, along with the VFD and the volume knob it came with).
Also, all recordings done previously have the scandinavian characters displayed as ?-marks (in the info screen, don't have any DVB subtitles in the old recordings to test with 'cause of this bug). This is also a very minor problem IMO. Maybe fixable by running enca, if the files containing the info's are in ASCII. Haven't looked into this since it doesn't bother me.
Yep, these are really ugly fixes, for the most part. But just thought worth to mention, since I do think a lot of people really need those subtitles in recordings.
Finally, here's a list of plugins I'm using and find working in 1.5.5, for reference:
dxr3 femon osdteletext epgsearch mplayer undelete streamdev-server text2skin lcdproc subtitles control externalplayer
Cheers, - Ville

Hi,
Hi Ville!
Nice to hear there are actually users of the ebuilds ;)
AFAIK vdr 1.4.7 doesn't fix the error with subtitles not being recorded (well, at least it's not in the changelog; OTOH I've understod that the problem lies in the plugin, but then again I tried vdr-subtitles 0.5.0 with vdr 1.4.6, and it had no effect).

But, since recording subtitles is such a core feature for me (and probably for a lot of other people, too), I found it worthwhile to get 1.5.5 running. Here are the problems I needed to work around (hopefully I didn't forget anything):
Well, we hope to get the most annyoing problems out of the ebuilds soon.
text2skin: (I need text2skin, since I'm using DXR3 and no other skins are stable enough on DXR3. Also, on vdr 1.5.X, the default skin is totally garbled and unusable on a dxr3.). I needed to add the patch from this mailing list thread "updated text2skin for vdr-1.5.3 and enigma?" to the ebuild. Then it compiled and seems to work fine.
I dont use it and have no real idea how it works. If you have a patch to make it working, just send it to me and I will add that to the ebuild.
epgsearch: The current version does not compile against 1.5.X. There is 0.9.23_beta1 ebuild in vdr-1.5 overlay, however that is outdated, since the current beta is beta3, and the beta1 source is not anymore on the epgsearch site. Just copying the ebuld to beta3 (and doing 'ebuild X digest') solved that one - and probaly the ebuild will be renamed on the overlay soon, too =).
Done that!
Don't now if this beta has some nasty bugs, but at least the blue smoke is still inside my VDR =)
gentoo-vdr-scripts, locales, UTF-8 and Scandinavian characters (umlauts): After getting VDR 1.5.5 working, one quite annoying problem was left: all non-7-bit characters were displayed as ?-marks, if using gentoo-vdr-scrips (which I'm quite dependant for the functionality they provide, but unfortunately made for <1.5.0 in mind). I found that in /usr/share/vdr/rcscripts/pre-start-45-utf8-check.sh all locales are reset to POSIX; however, this makes VDR 1.5.5 misbehave. I modified the script so that LC_ALL and LANG are set to fi_FI.UTF-8, and now everything works like a charm.
Well, we are still in discussion phase how gentoo-vdr-scripts should behave. Attached is some code we think could be almost ready for commiting to gentoo-vdr-scripts. The conf-changes is just to comment that one can set LANG inside conf.d/vdr, and need not have it system-wide.
Also, all recordings done previously have the scandinavian characters displayed as ?-marks (in the info screen, don't have any DVB subtitles in the old recordings to test with 'cause of this bug). This is also a very minor problem IMO. Maybe fixable by running enca, if the files containing the info's are in ASCII. Haven't looked into this since it doesn't bother me.
You mean filename or content of info.vdr. Well both should be solvable. First by convmv, second by recode or similar like iconv.
Yep, these are really ugly fixes, for the most part. But just thought worth to mention, since I do think a lot of people really need those subtitles in recordings.
Finally, here's a list of plugins I'm using and find working in 1.5.5, for reference:
dxr3 femon osdteletext epgsearch mplayer undelete streamdev-server text2skin lcdproc subtitles control externalplayer
If you still have patches not yet inside the ebuilds we are happy to apply them.
Greetings Matthias
