Problem with DVB subtitles (1 Viewer)

[kuku]

Hi folks, I have been having a problem with the DVB subtitles. They are enabled from the Mediaportal configuration - I have followed all the instructions in the DVB subtitle thread. But when I press the "L" button, nothing gets rendered on the screen. If I record a show and I use VLC player to play it, the subtitles show just fine. But no luck if I use MP to play it.

I live in New Zealand. I have Mediaportal RC1 (tried pretty much all SVNs without any success). My OS is WinXP SP2, my tv tuner is Hauppauge HVR 3000 and my videocard is Nvidia 8800 (latest drivers).

I'm am attaching my log files. If you check DVBsubs.log, you will notice something funny:

etc., etc.

I should probably note that DVB Viewer displays the DVB subtitles fine, but I like Mediaportal better!

I would appreciate your help.

Please upload small sample .ts recording that shows the issue. You can check the FTP account details in the DVB subtitle thread.

I uploaded the file NZ-TV2_kuku.ts. The DVB subtitles are in the file (they can be displayed with VLC), it is just that MP does not show them.

Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately I had to assign it to be fixed after 1.0 release as I currently dont have plenty of free time available. But if I happen to receive some extra free time before the 1.0 release I'll promise to have a look on this issue.

Thanks tourettes. We will be patient.

The stream contains some data segments that arent defined in the DVB subtitle specification. I have no clue what the segment type 0x14 is as the specification doesnt tell that. Previously the filter was dropping the complete PES packet when it did receive a segment that it didnt know. I'll add the some logic to keep processing the rest of PES packet when 0x14 segment type (what ever it is...) is received. At least the sample should play ok with that modification. Please check the results with this weeks SVN build wich is out due Friday.

btw. when I tried to play the sample .ts file with VLC I had few issues. 1) VLC was showing only few static frames (some had huge corruption) 2) VLC managed to decode only one subtitle string 3) VLC crashed pretty randomly with that clip. ...well at least MP plays it nicely, thats the most important thing
