The old subtitle patch/plugin used 0x28 as the starting offset for subtitle tracks, while the current implementation uses 0x20. I guess this was because the old remux.c had the line ts2pes[numTracks++] = new cTS2PES(*SPids++, resultBuffer, IPACKS, 0x00, 0x28 + n++); commented as "future..." and the subtitle patch just enabled this one. When I implemented subtitle handling in the core VDR code, I realized that this should actually be 0x20 instead. You can work around this by adding the lines X 3 03 X 3 03 X 3 03 X 3 03 X 3 03 X 3 03 X 3 03 X 3 03 X 3 03 fin suomi to your info.vdr files. This fills up the first 8 slots and puts "suomi" into the 9th slot. Don't forget to "touch /video/.update" after this change. Of course we could also modify cDevice::PlayPesPacket() to subtract 8 from SubStreamIndex in case the "// Compatibility mode for old subtitles plugin" check was positive, but you would still have to add X 3 03 fin suomi to your info.vdr files in order to get automatic subtitle track selection. So I guess the above workaround should do just fine. Klaus _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
