Hi all,

vbi2srt has been updated to include some fixes for teletext pages that include both normal pages and subtitles on the same page number. Also included is a freevo-1.5.4 record server plugin that will generate subtitles as a program is recorded. This plugin goes into the /path/to/python2.3/site-packages/free/tv/plugins (usually /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib).

http://www.linuxowl.com/software/vbi2srt-0.1.4.tar.bz2

Changes include:
Added colour support (MPlayer does do anything with colours, the subtitles are displayed as white) Fixed a problem with broadcasters that like to transmit normal teletext pages along with subtitles. Changed command line options, replaced the --duration (-T) option to -M for minutes and -S for seconds, freevo times things in seconds.
Removed the --font command line option.

The *next* release will include support for VPS (Video Signal Programming), this will start and stop recording when the program detects a VPS signal and the start time matches the VPS signal. The command line option --vps <time> will enable this functionality. Usually the start time is the same as the VPS strart time but not always, the broadcasters teletext pages usually give a VPS time.

Cheers,
Duncan

Nice stuff, given that my start times are often not correct the VPS detection will be great, many thanks :)

Okay http://www.linuxowl.com/software/vbi2srt-0.1.5.tar.bz2 is now released with VPS detection. One other change for the subtitles is the time
offset changed from seconds to milliseconds.

Included in the tar file is an updated version of vbi2srt_record.py which includes the line: self.rec_command = 'vbi2srt -v -p%s -o%s -S%s -P%s' % (881, rec_prog.filename, rec_prog.rec_duration, rec_prog.start) Need to do some work on the user interface to allow subtitle pages to be entered and vps start times.

I've not tested the program extensively so please do some tests before using the program.

The logic is that if a channel does not have a VPS signal the recording will proceed as normal. If the VPS time and the Start time don't match then
the program won't be recorded.

I need to think of a way to stop the program in these circumstances. Anyway please test and give me lots of feed back.

The program will only work with the IVTV driver and I'm using 0.4.0.

Cheers,
Duncan
