[vdr] vdr-iptv-plugin DVB subtitles problems
Hi I cant' display DVB subtitles on VDR. I'm using: VDR 1.7.15 xine 0.9.3 source: iptv-plugin 0.4.2 (http://www.saunalahti.fi/rahrenbe/vdr/iptv/) (yaVDR 0.2) on Asrock ION 330 HT DVB Subutitles are enabled under System/Setup/DVB and Language chosen is Slovenski (Slovenian-SLV). The iptv plugin detects the subtitles pid in question (System/Plugins/iptv/Info but no matter what I do, the channel in question returns No subtitles available The plugin passes mpeg2/4 stream directly to VDR and it does it superbly (HDTV great, EPG great, Channel switching fast, Stable, Teletext...) My IPTV (T-2, Slovenia) provider uses udp multicast and I can watch all the programs in VLC, with subtitles, ttx... This is the m3u playlist for VLC: http://www.rula.net/t2/t2tv.m3u This is the line in VLC playlist for HBO: #EXTINF:0,8 - HBO udp://@239.1.1.151:5000 This is Codec Information from VLC: Stream 0 Type: Video Codec: MPEG-1/2 Video (mpgv) Resolution: 640x576 Frame rate: 50 --- Stream 1 Type: Audio Original ID: 802 Codec: MPEG Audio layer 1/2/3 (mpga) Language: slovenščina Channels: Stereo Sample rate: 48000 Hz Bitrate: 192 kb/s --- Stream 2 Type: Audio Original ID: 1204 Codec: A52 Audio (aka AC3) (a52 ) --- Stream 3 Type: Subtitle Original ID: 7302 Codec: DVB Subtitles (dvbs) Language: slovenščina Description: DVB subtitles Those are lines from channels.conf, I started experimenting with HBO and tried a lot of variations(realy alot :). I still think I'm messing something up wit the syntax.

I also dumped the stream with mplayer and tried playing back the video, but there were no subtitles (record subtitles is checked in options). But because this is the first time I ran dvbsnoop and even after reading dvbsnoops man pages, I'm not sure if I did everything right. I'm also not very good with mplayer, so i ran with -alang, maybe I'm doing something wrong? Another problem is, that if I mess with DVB update channels (update pid, pid and names, names only, transponder...) I sometimes lock the HBO channel (no a/v and OSD Channel Locked). Also when checking dvbsnoop I noticed some lines with CA (i think it stands for Conditional Access) in them. But recently I can't reproduce that behaviour no matter what I do. But I'm paying for HBO and I can watch it in VLC and (most of the times) in VDR. Running iptv-plugin with EXT and using VLC in VDR does not work (A/V OK, but again no subtitles). Also it seems a bit crashy, so I would rather get it working this way. So far I read the man pages for VDR, VDR wiki in english, some pages in german and IPTV plugin readme. I searched the net, vdr-portal.de and this mailig list for subtitles, untertitel, dvb subtitles problems, etc, but I could not find the answer. I posted this question on vdr-portal: http://www.vdr-portal.de/board/thread.php?threadid=99300 and spent some time in the vdr irc channel (thank you again nox), but no matter what I do, I can't get those pesky DVB subtitles to display. I tried hts tvheadend, mythtv and even media portal but they are all flawed in one way, or the other. But because VDR is in a league of its own, I'm bothering all of you. VDR has no problems with 1080i/p channels, fast channel switching and even I can't crash it. Also yaVDR 0.2 is realy practical. Because this is the first time I came into contact with DVB, IPTV, SID's, PID's, etc, I'm probably doing something wrong and any help is deply appreciated. Some more info: my setup.conf http://pastebin.com/7jMjB0pb one of my channels.conf: http://pastebin.com/yX4NwBvs Thanks for reading all of my problems, and I hope someone can help.

Last time I checked the mplayer it didn't support DVBsubs, but I had to hack the support by myself (google: mplayer-dvbsubs-svn-20091207.patch.gz). You should really should provide us a small piece of original multicast stream recorded with emcast/vlc/...

DVBsubs pids aren't stored into channels.conf, but always detected dynamically. I manualy entered the teletext pid, because I started experimenting.

Here is the VDR recording: http://93.103.40.144/01.ts Here is the VLC recording: http://93.103.40.144/vlc.ts I think mplayer got their act together regarding subtitle support, but I'm not sure. I think -alang slv should work for DVBs. Tvich ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
[vdr] Arabic language EPG is inappropriately displayed
Hi, I am using Yavdr 0.2 with VDR 1.7.15 and the EPG or EIT for arabic language is inappropriately displayed in VDR. Using the arabic ISO-8859-6 in etc/default/vdr now the letters are shown correctly but they appear disjointed and are read from from left to right[whereas normally Arabic is read from right to left and the letters should be connected to each other to give a word and these words give a sentence ]. Is there any way to make the EPG readable in Arabic? Thanks alot. Regards Sami ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

What suprises me, is that your plugin detects the subtitle pid Info/PIDs correctly (thank you for your work btw). It's not the plugin, but the VDR itself and therefore I don't have a slightest idea what might be wrong. Here is the VDR recording: Here is the VLC recording: Thanks. I'll take a look at them. Btw, we should switch to using private emails in order not to spam the mailing list with these boring debug messages.
