0.3.1 force subtitles & audio

[svalavuo]

Hi,

Is there a way to "force" DVB (and maybe teletext) subtitles to certain language?

My kids use our MVP and it would be nice to have desired language as default.
They know how to change audio, but it would be nice to be able to make a default (as with VDR).
Setting could be done through config -file in server or with MVP itself.

Thanks for the great piece of software. It works like a charm!

I wrote a quick script to change channels.conf and stick your desired language as the first audio track before vomp could change audio.  However, you'd need to change VDR to not update pids, channels or transponders. As you can see I'm not a good programmer.

You use it by specifying the desired language on the command line

channelhack eng </etc/vdr/channels.conf >/tmp/channels.conf
