I know this thread is old.
But I also "dream" of the day that Kodi will have teletext (or close caption, which term I should use ?). Not that I'm "hard of hearing" but sometimes it's useful to put the TV to mute and have CC.
I remember that one Kodi Alpha (or an RC maybe) 18 had teletext (don't remember which version exactly). It was working fine, for the exception of accentuated characters in French.
Then, all the versions after that lost this feature. :-(
P.S.: Using TVHeadEnd 4.2.7-44 under LibreELEC 9.0.1 on x86 and Using Kodi 18.1 on AndroidTV and FireTV (and some more devices...)

Teletext and closed captioning are different things. CC's are typically what you see in North America and works fine here for me in v18 here but you need to enable it. Teletext is a different service different from subtitles but there are also internal subtitle streams on DVB broadcasts around the world.

He is talking about Teletext subtitles and is not the same as DVB subtitles that already is supported by Kodi.
All other PVR solutions i know of and even a cheap box can handle this but not Kodi.
You can ofcourse manuelly activate it in Teletext and select subtitle page but it's a lot of extra steps to do just to get a subtitle.
Besides that it's out of sync with that method.
But with TVheadend and when using HTSP protocol it works because TVheadend converts it to a format that Kodi understands.

Tried this on Ubuntu with the latest distro package and it works just fine for me. Previously had only tried on RPi4 LibreElec. Seems like LibreElec/RPi4 video pipeline interrupts the UI updating during video playback.

I didn't end up leaving smartredraw enabled, it caused some strange side effects. But <algorithmdirtyregions>0</algorithmdirtyregions> by itself works fine for me.
