    I have three sources of North American programming now: FTA Satellite, OTA ATSC and Cable TV. I downloaded Zodiac’s Core CC Parser posted by xvffxx in this thread - https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/television-mytv-frontend-tv-server-90/atsc-closed-caption-34929/, placed cccp.ax file into c:\windows\system32, registered the filter with regsvr32 cccp.ax command. Next step in media portal configuration I added Core CC Parser into post processing for Television and Videos. That’s all you have to do for Satellite and ATSC (digital TV) to show closed captions. But I couldn’t find a way to show Closed Captions for Analog Cable TV. I know Microsoft does it somehow because I can get Microsoft Windows Media Center to show closed captions on same hardware (live video or dvr-ms).
    Any ideas?

    What I noticed is with this filter the system does show closed captions, but becomes very unstable: most of time pressing the transport buttons while watching TV (stop, pause, skip, etc) locks the system. With the filter disabled, MediaPortal doesn't hang. If anybody else uses Zodiac’s Core CC Parser, please post your results.

    Thank you.
