I have a streamer which streams .TS files from a dvb-t source, how do i access subtitles.

Does xbmc support Teletext Subtitles or DVB Subtitles.

Does xbmc support Teletext Subtitles or DVB Subtitles?

No, a patch would be welcomed though, (maybe someone else can confirm this but I believe FFmpeg supports DVB subs now in their SVN?, ...and since XBMC's DVDPlayer uses FFmpeg it might be possible to implement it there via that code?).

[pt-1]

ProjectX can extract these DVB Subtitels.

We discussed the possibility already here on the Dbox 2 Forum to add this feature within Neutrino.

2007-11-14 10743 added: dvb subtitle support in mpeg-ts streams for dvdplayer added.

2007-11-17 10772 changed: allow dvdplayer to use any of ffmpegs subtitle decoders, this allows XSUB too.

Unfortunately, ffmpeg doesn't support teletext subtitles

so what we need now is a way to make xbmc choose the dvdplayer for .ts files instead of the normal player

That can be currently only be forced via a python script, but maybe the DVDPlayer should be set as the default player of MPEG-TS (Transport Streams)? ...or would that cause other incompatibilities in XBMC?

As far as I know the official FFmpeg SVN thrunk does, it was just not implemented in XBMC version of FFmpeg (ei. DVDplayer), right?

I don't think so. With the latest SVN, the MPEG2 transport stream (aka DVB) demuxer supports these streams:

STREAM_TYPE_AUDIO_MPEG1:
STREAM_TYPE_AUDIO_MPEG2:
STREAM_TYPE_VIDEO_MPEG1:
STREAM_TYPE_VIDEO_MPEG2:
STREAM_TYPE_VIDEO_MPEG4:
STREAM_TYPE_VIDEO_H264:
STREAM_TYPE_VIDEO_VC1:
STREAM_TYPE_AUDIO_AAC:
STREAM_TYPE_AUDIO_AC3:
STREAM_TYPE_AUDIO_DTS:
STREAM_TYPE_SUBTITLE_DVB:

What is "STREAM_TYPE_SUBTITLE_DVB" for then?

Bitmap-based subtitles (DVB subtitles)

gamester teletext = our "text tv"

Gamester17:
I just wanted to know if we in Sweden that is using the ComHem provider (cable tv) has use for it? Is it DVB text ...or teletext? (Canal+ for example).

Right now I have MyTheatre streaming to my xbox(es) but I never had the subtitles working

So I really am hopeful now!

i'd expect comhem to have dvb text, so it should work. aslong as mythearhter decrypts, and send's along everything in the mpeg-ts stream it sould.

MT with the AVBroadcaster plugin doesn't send the whole ts stream but DVBViewer Pro does, works like a charm and it's very cheap (only 15€

[joolzg]

there are MAJOR differences in DVB Subtitles and Text Subtitles.

As pointed out DVB Subs are Bitmaps whereas Text Subs are just a fixed teletext page with special bounding boxes to turn on/off the background so you can see the picture but still have text on.

It seems that it now partly works !! ( XBMCSetup-Rev23805-gl.exe) But the problem is when the subtiltle has two rows, they come on same place on top of each others ( not readable) any ideas??
