If there were subtitles support, this would be the ultimate dongle!
Thanks, it's working like charm!

[Chris]

svalavuo: Subtitles are now very near the top of mine and mark's todo list... Keep watching this space It is going to take a coordinated effort so its not exactly going to be next week...

hondansx: Thanks for your yaris efforts!

[svalavuo]

Chris: This is GREAT news.
Is it going to be DVB or teletext subtitles (or both)?
As I have said on other threats, we (in Finland) could use both because our national TV-stations send DVB subtitles.
Then there is for example TV1000 and Canal+ that use teletext subtitles.

Thanks for good news, I can start planning buying additional MVP:s then

[Harry]

In everybody who is interested on this, I brought up some pachtes I found from others and mine.
[...]
2. poweron_mode
Automatik startup of LiveTv or Radio
[...]

this function can't be inverted to a sleep timer by any chance, can it?

your efforts are much appreciated!
keep on hackin'

cheers
Harry

P.S hmm. reading through your text again... i seem to have misunderstood.
it's a "what to do on powerup" option, isn't it?

[hondansx]

@Harry

it's a "what to do on powerup" option, isn't it?

Yes it is. You can select in the Preference Menu, wether the vompclient start with TV (Channel1) or with Radio (Channel 1)
or let's the default.

this function can't be inverted to a sleep timer by any chance, can it?

At the moment I don't see any chanche for it.

Bye,
Walter

Chris: This is GREAT news.

DVB subtitles. As far as I know there is no teletext over DVB-T in the UK, so realistically, developing that will probably have to be done by someone in another country. (Perhaps there is teletext on DVB-S or -C in the UK?)

As I have said on other threats, we (in Finland) could use both because our national TV-stations send DVB subtitles.

Threats??? Yikes! 

Thanks for good news, I can start planning buying additional MVP:s then

Weeelll, no guarantees yet.

[hondansx]

@Chris

Thanks for your yaris efforts!

Is there any little chance of getting the one or other patch into cvs?

Cheers,
Walter

[svalavuo]

Threats??? Yikes! 

Well, Forum threats (or what are they?).

If needed, I can offer VDR recording(s) with teletext -subtitles.

Yeps! 
Well, it's not the words I usually use. English isn't my native language (as everybody can see from my posts) 
Sorry Chris, I didn't want to threat you!

In everybody who is interested on this, I brought up some patches I found from others and mine.

Thanks hondansx !
Just want to check I'm doing things right, as some of the nice features of 0.2.7.6.1 seem to be missing in 0.3.0.1 - like the mediaplayer video and scrolling summary for long EPG entries from XMLTV.
Is that right?
Thanks

[muellerph]

scrolling summary for long EPG entries from XMLTV
Is that right?

I didn't update my patch for the scrolling of EPG programme summary. So confirmed it cannot be included.
My biggest issue is rather that I have no clue how to do scrolling now in Live-TV with the old remote. There is just no button left...
Any ideas?

[keynet]

Sorry I don't have a suggestion for this.
Guess I'm pretty happy with 0.2.7.6.1. and was hoping the functionality could/would remain as the core software was improved.
I'll look again
cheers

DVB subtitles. As far as I know there is no teletext over DVB-T in the UK, so realistically, developing that will probably have to be done by someone in another country. (Perhaps there is teletext on DVB-S or -C in the UK?)

My 1st post here (I think), but I just wanted to say that S4C on S28.2E carries English-language teletext subtitles for much of its Welsh-language programming, on page 888. It also has occasional Welsh-language subtitles on page 889, but I've never managed to get that working in VDR.
