Is support for DVB subtitles still going to be implemented in v 1.5?


Well, in the past I sometimes said what I'm planning to
implement in the next version of VDR - and when I ran out of
time or otherwise had to shift priorities, people were
disappointed if a particular feature didn't make it into
the next version. Therefore I won't make any such statements
any more ;-)

All I can say is that currently I'm trying to solve the
problems with "more than one CAM advertising a certain
encryption standard, but not all of them actually being able
to decode a particular channel" and "CAMs that can decode
more than one channel simultaneously".

I have seldom run into crash with 1.4.1 + maintenance patch. However, I
have not been able to reproduce or get any log out of crash. v1.4.x is
quite stable in my opinion. For everyday PVR usage it has not crashed
once. Some plugins still causes some problems (mainly TV-OnScreen that
crashes if there is a specific situation with empty column and user hits
enter. Normal empty column problem works well. Unfortunately I cannot be
more specific without further testing).

Thanks for the info! These features are not important for me so I'll be
using v1.4.x a bit more longer :-)

Well, so far I've been busy doing maintenance patches for the
1.4-series, but I hope this will finally settle soon.

The first thing I want to address in version 1.5 is the problem with
systems that contain more than one CAM that implements a particular
encryption method, but only one (or "not all") of them actually
has a smart card to decrypt a given channel. This is not an easy task,
because the DVB standard is pretty messy in that area, and the few
useful things it defines aren't even implemented (correctly) in
various CAMs. So I guess I'll need to actually try to receive
a channel on each of the devices/CAMs that claim to be able to
decrypt it, and see whether there is an actual decrypted TS delivered
from it. Of course this makes the whole process of selecting devices
for recording or live view more complex...

The other thing that goes into that direction is support for CAMs
that can decrypt more than one channel at the same time. Once these
two problems are solved, I'll release version 1.5.0 ;-)
