[vdr] eHD and DVB subtitles sync
I had a little time to track down the issue with reelbox plugin and DVB
subtitle sync.
Subtitles works fine when using MPEG audio track, with live and recorings (i
have set analog audio
to soundcard from settings as suggested here earlier)
When changing to Dolby Digital audio track, subtitles don't even get displayed.
Problem seems to be how reelbox plugin returns STC. I copied line
-- CLIP --
dbgconverter(PTS: %lld STC: %lld (%lld) timeout: %d\n, sb-Pts(),
cDevice::PrimaryDevice()-GetSTC(), Delta, sb-Timeout());
-- CLIP -
in dvbsubtitle.c to just before if (Delta = MAXDELTA) (because STC is wrong
and delta is more than
MAXDELTA, and it would never be shown).
With Dolby Digital track reelbox plugin always returns same STC:

-- CLIP --
So next i checked out from where this GET STC is from. It's from reelbox
plugin ReelBoxDevice.c:
-- CLIP --
int64_t ReelBoxDevice::GetSTC()
{
UInt stc = stc_;
if (audioPlayerHd_) {
printf(GET STC %x\n,HdCommChannel::hda-player[0].stc+stc_);
return HdCommChannel::hda-player[0].stc+stc_;
}
return (stc == 0) ? -1LL : stc;
}
-- CLIP --
So i hope someone who has more experience with coding and with VDR can continue
from here and try
to find cure for this.I tried to comment whole if (audioPlayerHd_) statement
but it
didn't help, wrong STC will be returned always anyway.

Hi. I've just made the switch to S2API and vdr-1.7.4 and it seems to work
quite well both with xineliboutput (with vdpau) and streamdev now. The thing
I'm missing is teletext subtitles and I don't know how hard it would be to
update it for ts. Has anyone started on this? What countries other than
Sweden and Finland use teletext subtitles frequently? I understand that it
is not one of your (Klaus) top priorities, but do you have access to any
channels that use it? Otherwise it's probably even lower on the priorities
list.
I believe the German ZDF channel broadcasts both ttxt and DVB subtitles.
One feature request for VDR: a setup option to record all pids, including
all audio and teletext pids. That way I guess it would be easier to develop
a plugin for it (and I'd be happy to send you some recordings).
It already records all audio pids.
I wouldn't want to record the ttxt pid just because of a few bytes for
subtitles. Here's a copy of a message I just sent to Rolf Ahrenberg
privately, after he sent me a suggested patch to record the ttxt pid:
--
...teletext subtitles are a thing from the past, the normal way
of broadcasting subtitles should be DVB subtitles. I hardly think a
DVD player would be able to handle teletext subtitles (or am I wrong here?).
I would prefer a solution where the teletext subtitles are converted into
DVB subtitles during recording (and also during live viewing). Then the
rest of VDR would only have to handle one single subtitle format.
I suggest you first write a class that accepts a teletext TS data
stream and outputs a DVB subtitle TS stream. Then we can see how
this can be inserted into the recording chain and during live viewing.
Something like
class cTtxtToDvbSubtitles {
...
public:
cTtxtToDvbSubtitles(int Page); // the teletext page containing the subtitles
void PutTtxtTs(uchar *Data, int Length); // put a single TS packet of ttxt
data
// into the converter
uchar *GetDvbTs(int Length); // get one or more TS packets containing a
complete
// DVB subtitle page
...
};
What we also need is a way of detecting whether there are any ttxt subtitles,
and on which page they are broadcast (haven't looked into the DVB standard
about this yet, but I believe every broadcaster uses a different page).
Once we have these facilities, this could well go into the core VDR.

The teletext standard defines a teletext subtitle flag that any subtitle page should have set. Specifically, its the C6 flag, placed at byte 11 bit 8 of line 0 of the teletext page. (see cTxtReceiver::DecodeTXT of OSDTeletext on how to get that flag.) However, I don't know how consequently this flag is used. The C5 (Newsflash) flag also sets a transparent background, and could be used alternatively. Other transparent pages could also falsely set the C6 flag. It also may be a good idea to interpret different teletext pages as different subtitles, in case a channel has more than one subtitle page.

Well.. I don't really recommend using this one, it completely ignores almost
all settings from VDR channels config and uses
autopilot instead. Works for me, it's an ugly hack and i don't recommend it to
be used. And it forces transponder bandwidth to 8MHz,
as it's only one in use in Finland. I didn't want to make things more
complicated (like to get settings from vdr ;)).

I'm trying to write a channel scanner (and later on an EPG scanner) that can handle Freesat nicely, but these non-standard PIDs are a pain. I found another useful DigitalSpy post http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=971793 which tells you how to find the PIDs. The trouble is this only finds NITs with table_id 0x41 (other network) and SDTs with PID 0x46 (other transport stream). I haven't checked the NITs yet to see whether they're still useful, but the SDTs only contain channels from other transponders, so at best my scanner will have to maintain a lot of data across multiple transponders instead of being able to neatly package each set of channels with its own transponder. Also, all the sections have a section_number of 0 even though they carry different data, so the only way of knowing when you've got a complete set (from the current transponder) is by seeing whether you've already received that data and trust their transmission order hasn't changed. -- TH * http://www.realh.co.uk ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

But the main problem in distribution is, that everyone has to register to be able to download attachments. what's wrong with it? If registering is too much effort - nothing doing. I just took a look. On quick look at the homepage and the Wiki I could not find any information on [1] on what Easy VDR does and on what distro it is based. Looking at the script it looks like it is based on Debian Etch. it's a complete VDR distribution based on debian etch. There is no better way to document an installation than a working shell script:-) Of course, but if one has to register at a forum to get the files it will prevent people from getting it and to contributing to the project. but it will guarantee to a certain extend that you will obtain a tested and working setup out-of-the-box after installation has finished. I would be willing to begin to start such a page. But I wanted to know your preferences, so that chances are high, that you will feel comfortable with it. the problem is you can write whole books about the VGA2SCART theme. I *certainly* won't have the time to do that. But for the beginning I could post a plain list of URLs where I finally got my informations from. - Thomas ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

I haven't followed this VGA2SCART thing, but a quick lookup showed, that this involves patching XOrg stuff and xineliboutput. That is correct. It requires several programs to be patched. If this is the case, then a single Git repository might not be appropriate. we must distinguish 4 cases. VGA2SCART on: 1. ATI Radeon without FRC 2. Intel i9xx without FRC 3. ATI Radeon withFRC 4. Intel i9xx withFRC software patches required: 1. - xserver-xorg-video-radeon (newer versions may not need it) 2. - xserver-xorg-video-intel 3. - xserver-xorg-video-radeon - xineliboutput (newer versions already adopted the patch) - xine-lib - radeon-drm kernel module 4. - xserver-xorg-video-intel - xineliboutput (newer versions already adopted the patch) - xine-lib FRC stands for frame rate control. That means VGA video timing is synchronized with DVB stream = no software deinterlacing is needed any more. Fields are forwarded directly from softdecoder to VGA port. The simple version without FRC allows conventional operation (with software deinterlacing). It provides the minimum requirements needed for SCART over VGA. I don't know either how to maintain the patch set. So at least I took a few snapshots from my development and collected them at 'http://lowbyte.de/vga-sync-fields/' - Thomas ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
