New DVB subtitle filter (TsReader based) (1 Viewer)

[ziphnor]

...well, something like this?

Exactly

...that was the debug logging that I added. My assumption is that the current position skips backwards in the TsReader for some odd reason. So this could be related to the seeking issues I and other people are seen with TsReader.

I was writing my response at the same time as you were writing yours, so i didnt see that you already added extra logging

It will be interesting to see what the result is, but lets hope i made a mistake in SubtitleRenderer, since it will likely be easier to correct than a seeking bug in TsReader

There seems to be a memory leak. MP was using 300 MB mem + 1.1 GB VM after viewing TV for 3 hours.

Logs attached (unfortunately without the added logging - which I will install now).

Seems like the growing subtitle cache is contributing to that big memory usage.

Well, would be better to have only one bug as the TsReader seeking bug is true even if we would have 2nd bug in the rendering code

Here are the logs for another incident (frozen subtitles - and seeking issues). Now with SVN 15600 (extended logging information).

Looks like TsReader (or MP) has some issue with the current position. As it has been jumped backwards just without seeking.

I have been looking for the seeking code in TsReader, but I guess I will need Frodo's help with solving this one...

Great work!! It saved MP at home (my wife was about to force me to change back to MCE!!!

I am not sure if this is a bug or if it has been fixed. Using version 4 the screen sometimes goes into black when changing channels (rarely). The audio however is fine. Also, sometimes when changning channels the audio either is missing or a strange tapping noise comes. This goes away when seekeing.

Best regards
Henrik

If your audio disappears when changing channels, I bet that you are using a single-seat setup, and are changing between channels with mpeg1 and mpeg2 audio. It is a bug in TsReader (which the dev's are working on solving).

Not sure about the black screen issue. There is a report about image freezing when zapping, but if you could provide logs for such an event it would be much appreciated.

Thanks

I just wants to say thankyou for the good work. I've have just just installed a new windows xp pc to see how things has been progressing. And without much trouble i'm now watching danish television _with_ subtitles

So it look ready for primetime even trough there is still a few bugs listed - at least it is ready for a WAT here (Wife Acceptance Test)

Until now I've used a mythv box that has the functionality i need - but not the userinterface for the family ....

Looks like version 5 is doing a tremendous job. Haven't had any crashes/freeze yet and subtitle timing is perfect also when switching channels.

Thanks tourettes!
