The following google drive shared folder has 2 USA ATSC TV recording files. Both are noon news recorded with MePo and have Closed Captions about 110 MB each.

Thanks for the samples - I've probably got enough for now.

My version of CoreCC parser is now working OK in GraphStudio with one of the samples

I feel a bit superfluous to this conversation... but I'm still very interested.

To be clear: are you thinking of extending Core CC to handle CC in h.264, or integrating Core CC's function into TsReader? ...or maybe it is both?

Also not sure what is the goal of this quest.

But with MePo 1.9 default LAV setup for codecs and using CoreCC for ATSC closed captions, works fine most of the time. But if I skip chapters, or skip forward/back 15, 30, 60 seconds, most of the time this works without a problem. But sometimes, maybe 1 in 20, I see a total MePo Client hang and have to use TaskManager to kill MePo. No obvious errors in any log files. If I use Msft DTD-DVD for the MPEG2 video codec, I never see problems with time-skip with CoreCC and ATSC closed captions.

Possibly 'both'.

I'm at the stage of 'how does it all work at the moment' before thinking about 'which way to go'

Adding H.264 capability to Core CC is likely to happen first.

(...and RonDs 1080i sample is crashing my current dev version of TsReader, so I think that problem is first on the list

- nothing to do with CC)

Hi,
small TS recording is from MP 1.4 which has CC (ccextractor says so and seen it get exported) however in mediainfo says nothing about text stream 608 708.
note: 1080 MPEG4/H.264

Apparently XBMC has never been able to display ATSC Closed Captioning. Apparently, this was primarily because ffmpeg did not have built-in support to decode ATSC closed captions. Applications like VLC, while using ffmpeg, have their own code to deal with this deficiency in ffmpeg.

It looks like (but I could be mistaken), as of ffmpeg 2.2 it may now support ATSC Closed Captioning:http://git.videolan.org/?p=ffmpeg.git;a=blob;f=libavcodec/mpeg12dec.c

The following discussion is also informative: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=144517

This is particularly important for the PVR function in North America, which currently cannot display closed captions in live TV or recordings of live TV.

Owlsroost · January 29, 2015

Quick update - I've fixed the dev TsReader crash, so I've just started work on adding H.264 parsing support to Core CC (but it's early days, so don't expect anything quickly....)
