But maybe the CC texts can be easily converted to DVB subtitles, just like it's going to be with teletext subtitles. In that case I don't see why CC shouldn't be supported.

Marco's patch does the remuxing a bit differently as the subtitles plugin. We'll have to see about that. If it doesn't work immediately (which would mean that the subtitle plugin did it wrong ;-) I'm sure there can be some compatibility code or a tool that converts existing recordings. I'd also like see some features currently found in the subtitles plugin in VDR's implementation: vertical offset and transparency adjustments. Let's see about that once the basic functionality works.

Yes. I've set subtitles to use level 10 and ttxtsubs to 20.
I'd like to know if the new patch is supposed to be working, or the
cause the subtitles aren't showing is my hurriedly patched dxr3 and xine
plugins.
DVB subtitles are working nicely in my FF setup and someone reported
that ttxtsubs are working with xineliboutput.
I somewhat doubt it, since I had to bypass the IsOpen test to make it
work with a properly (I think) patched dxr3 plugin.
Patch attached.
