No subtitles web player

[mvallevand]

I understand that requirement I just didn't remember implementating recordings in KNEWC. I wasn't planning on implementing recording for Kodi pvr.nextpvr so consider this experimental. I asked sub if his download API could be modified to allow transcoding too. It would be kind of like Neftlix offline viewing I felt that is the way to go for recordings and be a better experience. You could even set it up before you go mobile.

If you just need the volume low use direct play.

The subtitle information was mainly for sub.

Im not sure what you are referring to above with the subtitle lines and what they mean? or whether it can be fixed to work?

See my reply above. NextPVR doesn't currently implement DVB Subtitle support in the web app. I'd need to implement a couple more things before you'd see anything (it needs some extra stuff passed in before the [SUBTITLES] parameter is populated). It's on my to do list, but has been pretty low priority - I think you're the first person to ever ask about it.

Yeah i am sure it is not a major priority for you as a developer and I do appreciate any mods you may make in future.
Personally, it would be the icing on the cake though as even though the addition would be a minor update, it would be most useful to me here in the uk not having any other subtitle options.

Thanks Martin, That sounds very promising and I would be interested to try any developments you might add to your already great addon.
It would be cool if it could all be transcoded with subtitles too or even if sub added transcode features to his pvr addon to do the same job.

KNEWC and pvr.nextpvr depend on sub's great work and the features he implements. They are nothing without it.

Yeah i understand appreciate both your efforts!
If you need any sample videos with dvdsub files here in the uk for testing please let me know.
Thanks

Thanks I found the ccextractor site is a good source, but if you have any files where the dvbsub subtitle doesn't load automatically in Kodi when you configure it to I'd like to try that.   Five minutes is good.

Off the subject a little, i wondered if you could help me force the transcoding to overlay subtitles.
I tried editing config.sys in npvr-data folder to the following for transcode arguments:
    <TranscodeArgs>-y -i [SOURCE] -filter_complex "[0:v][0]overlay[v]" -map "[v]" -map 0:a [TARGET]</TranscodeArgs>
the  filter complex overlays the subtiles onto the video with ffmpeg yet when i goto the web app it does not affect the output on the video player?
Do you know how i can edit the ffmpeg options for the web streamer with nextpvr to do this so i can still get subtitles to show even though there not yet supported for dvdsub?
Thanks Martin.
Mark.

Line above should be not with smiley face lol

I mentioned that there is no config.xml entry for recordings. Does it work with Live TV?
