New DVB subtitle filter (TsReader based)

[Seidelin]

One more bug-report:

When viewing TV and pausing for ~10 minutes or more the playback fails to resume correctly. Logs attached. Note: Program did not contain subtitles.

I couldn't find SVN 15294 anywhere? Where can I download that SVN? Or do you guys get the subs to work on later SVNs aswell??

I use SVN 15291. The only changes to SVN 15294 are changes related to dvsub2.ax and tsreader.ax - which are the files you manually update when activating dvb subtitles. I guess you can also use a more recent SVN, but don't blame me if it doesn't work.

Tonight I've been watching a couple of live broadcasts and recordings, and I sometimes get garbled frames (looks like bad reception, but it is not), it lasts many seconds and are typically not seen when seeking back and watching the part again. I guess there is some kind of data corruption going on related to the subtitle filter. I will try to reproduce it and get some log files. Also, i've noticed that sometimes after seeking the subtitles are severely delayed (many seconds) - fixed by seeking again.

I'm currently using the newest SVNs for booth Mediaportal and the Tv Server. But I can't get it working. Are u supposed to do anything in program or in the configuration to start the subs?

I'm posting my dvbsub log aswell from when I started the tv waching a channel I know have subs!

I'm submitting a recording a made from canal + wich should have several subtitles stream. Since I have no file server of my own I had to use a comersial one. I hope you will wait for the download to start.

Hi

I have tried to register the new subtitle filter, but now Mediaportal won't work. I have followed the instruction, but now I get this exception log:

ExceptionType: System.ArgumentException
Message: Værdien falder ikke inden for det forventede område.
Source: mscorlib

Stack trace:
ved System.Runtime.InteropServices.ComTypes.IRunningOb jectTable.Revoke(Int32 dwRegister)
ved DirectShowLib.DsROTEntry.Dispose()
ved DirectShowLib.DsROTEntry.Finalize()

Any suggestions?

Sorry - my mistake. I haven't noticed, that the subtitle entry was already made in Mediaportal.xml.

Have tested the subtitle filter now but like other have experienced it hangs when switching channels. The timing seems to work fine though.

I tried that file and didn't see any subs either, going to move over to Vista permanently this week.

Worth waiting for the 2.3 non RC? Or is it some way away still?

I would assume that final 0.2.3.0 release isn't going to include the DVB subtitle support (the filter is still too untested at the moment...)

Thanks for testing.

If I remember correctly there were some fixes in TsReader (related to stopping) that Frodo made just before I did go abroad (Croatia). I'll try to create a new (updated) version of modified TsReader in coming days. Let's see f it fixes this issue.

Haven't seen this to happen so let's see if the TsReader fixes have also something that could be helping with this issue.

Seeking was working ok for me (but after I merged latest TsReader source codes it got broken). So there is something fishy (most likely in the TsReader changes that I have made). I'll try to fix that seeking to the next version for me and the you can test if it's fixing the seeking issue you are seeing.

It should work. A least it did work for me TsReader is used also in multiseat environments and DVB subtitle filter isn't seeing any difference between single / multiseat.

Good to hear that the timing is working as it was the main issue with the previous filter..
