Re: [vdr] VDR Development

And, what about this blackmail thing ? Wouldn't it be simpler to say i don't have time anymore, my needs won't evolve and i don't want to code features i won't use, please carry on ! ? I'm neither Klaus not a regular of this list, but I think you're not being fair here: Klaus has every right to say he won't develop on a community tree; it is, after all, his own free time. BTW, if I remember well, Klaus has coded several features (i.e. subtitles) he himself said he didn't use. Like it or not, VDR is a cathedral-style project: this has led to higher code quality and very good stability, at the expense of a slower development pace and the lack of some bleeding-edge features in the mainline. If you want those features, you can use a patch posted on this list (e.g. for hdtv, sourcecaps) or use a plugin (e.g. for teletext subtitles). Many distributions include those patches or provide a way for the user to easily appy them. Of course, you're also free to develop your own patches for new features: if they're good enough, I'm sure they'll eventually find their way into the mainline, as it happened, e.g., with the shutdown handling rewrite some time ago. You say you want to fork it: what would you accomplish with that? It's not as if the code would magically write itself. I've yet to see a single prospective developer say if it were forked I'd write X. (And, BTW, there's nothing forbidding him to write X in form of a patch and post it on this list.) On the other hand, by forking you'd probably lose Klaus, who has written by himself the majority of VDR code and knows it like no one else. Finally, I personally fail to see why people switching to MythTV is a bad thing; VDR is not a religion, I think everyone should use whichever software he thinks suits best his needs. I'm very happy with VDR and won't be switching anytime soon. Davide ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

It took only an hour from me opening the thread at the DVB technics forum till dvb.matt to add the support. Amazingly quick! I've just demuxed a recording with five subtitle tracks and it worked great. Thanks for your help and kudos to dvb.matt for the fix.

I noticed that Project-X is able to handle only subtitles within subID 0x20. Actually the recordings I tried to demux have many subtitle tracks (four or five if I remember well). I have a recording with subtitles with subIDs 0x20 and 0x21 and demuxing fails with command 248. If I restrict Project-X to subID 0x20, I am able to demux that recording too. How do you do that? I can't find how to force a specific subID... Unfortunately this means that the second subtitle stream cannot be demuxed. How can I see which subIDs contains my recording (and which language is a specific subID) ? I'd like to demux italian english from these recordings, and discard the other languages.
