Example. Besides the mediaportal box i have one running mythtv. All recordings there are ein .ts and i have mapped it as a drive on the mediaportal box and access the recodgins trough 'my videos'. I have also an external drive with a lot of recordings in .ts

majland, if you would be so kind to upload a couple of short samples recorded on your myth box to the ftp described in the first post, it would be appreciated.

Thanks
Seidelin

Done

I've recorded two small samples from dr1 and put them in the folder "dr1 recorded with mythtv "

1101_20071001101637.mpg I know there is no subtitles in the first half - until the "speak" from the norwegian begins. The teletext subtitle is empty.

1101_20071001102805.mpg This is probably better. There is no teletext subs (VLC shows the time) but there is dvbsub along with her speak from about 10 sekunds into the sample.

Do you have any trouble playing .ts in 'my videos' with dvb-sub enabled?

I have not tried - mediaportal is still inproving and i have not a dedicated box running "production" yet


My main htpc is still the mythtv box that lives in a closet. For programming i use its web interface and access the recordings trough filesharing (If i wants to se something live og timeshiftet i use a windows box with mce/dvbciewer/mediaportal and a projector.

At home i've most often used vlc og dvbviewer to watch recordings. But i usually just copy the recordings to my laptop before leaving for work (typically away some days at a time so always nice to have something worth watchning with me :)

But it looks like its close with a dedicated mediaportal box for family... DvbSub has been the feature highest on my wishlist and a month ago i've upgraded the hardware of the windows box - asus mb with hdmi and amd x64 processor. The ati graphics should be enough for 720p (i don't expect the need for higher resolutions anytime soon)

Im testing with mediaportal on the laptop and the amd with the tv engine3 as a dual seat setup. And the frontend on my laptop is more stable than the frontend on the amd-box.

Yes it is close but still not stable enough for "production use" - read foolproff for family usage :) - But i look forward to seeing the improvements with tsreader

But my setup is about a week old so its about time to go to the bleeding edge again to find new bugs :)
So i continue to tinker with it until i think its "wife/children-safe".

Only TS files contain subtitles :)

/Gibman

It is Transport Stream files (.ts) - mythtv just names them .mpg
Have a look yourself - vlc is my favorite tool to that.

    If you rename them to .ts then the subtitles work just fine on my machine. I trust you didnt have any problems either?

    Tested the 16081 build. TTsubs worked nicely on both C+ and Animal planet (dvb-t). A lot of L-pressing involved there to get to the right one :) but once found ...!

    Got some strange general breakdowns, don't know if it has anything to do with the the filter.

    But, a really big step forward, thanks!

    At some point (when we know that the current stuff is working) we will add default language settings so that MP will automatically choose the right stream for you.

    Got some strange general breakdowns, don't know if it has anything to do with the the filter.

    Could you perhaps be a bit more precise? Is this something you can re-produce? If so it would be great if you could test with and without dvbsub enabled. The problem is of course that TsReader itself is not yet 100% stable.

    Yeah, sorry about that. I couldn't see any pattern why (and it was mediaportal not tvserver) broke down. Sometimes when channelchanging and sometimes in mid-viewing, hence my "accurate" description. But I'll do some more serious testing and try to reproduce when it happens.

    Aaah so you get that too? I can be watching tv nicely then the picture will just lockup, the audio will continue normally but picture freezes.

    Please, could you examine if the mid-viewing issue happens on all channels, or only on channels with teletext subtitles and/or DVB subtitles.

    Currently there are some problems (missing video and/or sound or even MP crash) when changing channels between mpeg1 and mpeg2 audio channels.

    Thanks!

    Hi !

    I installed the 16086 revision of both MP and TVE3...
    Now the teletext sub works perfect for me on Canal +
    Thank you very much boys for your good work........

    The only thing is that the sub is a little bit small and high up in the picture...
    Maybe thats something i can change by myself ???

    Well again ! THANK YOU !
