[Q]: Teletext Supported?

[aderlopas]

Hello,

Just a question, do Nextpvr Server and Nextpvr Kodi Addon support Teletext?
If so, what should be the proper configuration to get this enabled?

NextPVR passes all digital streams associated with a channel to Kodi, including the Teletext stream, and it's player can do whatever it wants with those streams. I've read Kodi supports manually viewing Teletext pages, but not Teletext subtitles. (this a Kodi player thing, rather than anything related to NextPVR or the NextPVR addon)

I practically don't care about teletext subtitles, just the teletext pages...
In a previous post about a much older version of nextpvr, you had mentioned that we would need to use overlay.
Does this mean another Video Renderer than EVR that is by default used?
If so, which one from the available ones below?

Not sure I follow you. You can use any of those renderers to view teletext. On modern versions of Windows, EVR is the best choice for video renderer. (this wont make any difference in Kodi though, which doesn't use NextPVR's decoders/renderers - it doesn't own decoding and display of Teletext data). You don't have to make any setting changes in NextPVR or the NextPVR addon - Teletext is passed through to Kodi by default.

If I suggested a particular user use Overlay, it was probably because they had some old video card that didn't like the more modern renderers. In general Overlay is the worst video renderer, and shouldn't be used.

Thanks Sub, got it.
