I'm not sure I can help with this as I don't know what regular teletext is supposed to look like and wasn't aware they still broadcast it. I have watched recordings from all 5 Aussie broadcasters, and they all seem to use the teletext type of subtitles. Text is normally shown near the bottom...

That seems to be for the logs, but your screen grab was enough for me to find the setup file (next item down): https://github.com/MediaPortal/MediaPortal-1/actions/runs/40942844454/artifacts/12929800698 That GitHub environment is rather overwhelming - my last formal code review involved...

Am I allowed to access the test builds? I assume it will be a few weeks before this fix makes it into a public release. I need the 32 bit version. I promise not to report any unrelated issues!

Thanks everyone, I'll test it out when time permits (recording laptop needs to be rebuilt first - TvService not starting when booting and x64 client does not support TvWishList).

You are also missing the first line of the subtitle in your first example, so thanks for confirming the problem. This is what it should look like (from VLC):

Also try setting the subtitle default language to Eng - this and selecting all types has got it working for me in the past.

There is something odd about our network 10 TV channels. Sometimes MP just crashes & restarts when I try to play a recording, and I have to change from the LAV video decoder to the Microsoft one to play it. This started happening when they upgraded audio tracks to Dolby Digital. I have also...

My screen calibration looks like your images. I tried moving the subtitles all the way to the bottom but it didn't change the top subtitles. I've finally managed to live record 2m of opening credits with subtitle at top - see attached (2nd try as zip as TS rejected).

Yes that is what I tried and got error: "Decoding requested, but no decoder found for: dvb_teletext" I thought the full build of FFmpeg might help but it didn't - Shutter Encoder might only use its bundled version of FFmpeg?

Yes, I meant 20 years. Can we all call it a typo instead of a "senior moment"! You folks have sent me spiraling down a rabbit hole - video editor cut section out beautifully but no subtitles. Now trying to install FFmpeg so editor can decode teletext subtitles. Might be quicker to try and...

Found the English version and will give it a go, thanks. Just realised I've been using MP for around 30 years! I also remember using an extension to trim recordings, but that was back in the SD days and I don't think it was enhanced to handle HD.

What is the upload limit for this forum? Last time I used a video editor was over 10 years ago - are there any free ones for Win11 that can trim TS files?

The subtitles are embedded in the TS video file, not a separate subtitle file. I can turn them on and off in MP, and sometimes there is more than one type to choose from (eg. older teletext). I tested a file in VLC and the subtitles displayed correctly when positioned at the top, so it seems to...

Hi, I've been using MP1 for many years but am new to the forum. When watching recorded TV shows with subtitles, normally they are displayed near the bottom of the screen, but sometimes they are displayed at the top (during opening credits) and if the subtitle text is longer than one line, the...

I get this problem often. Seems to be due to the EPG being refreshed after the recording timer has been setup, and the EPG now having a slightly later start time for the show. Eg. Happy Days setup to record from 5:00-5:30 but then EPG updated with Happy Days starting from 5:02. The recording...
