I've just upgraded to v5.2.3.211114 from a version released earlier this year and found that DVB-T closed captions are no longer being displayed.

I live in Australia and we have teletext closed captions embedded in our broadcast streams.

While NextPVR identifies that the CC stream is available (English, code page 801) in the Ctrl-X menu, no closed captions are displayed after activating them from the menu.

This seems like it could be a regression. Logs attached.

I tested the recordings in VLC and it was able to display the subtitles, so they are present and correct.

"DVB Subtitles" are currently working.

About a week ago an Australian user pointed out that "Teletext Subtitles" are not working. I've fixed this for the next release.

Thanks, sub. Now that I know what to search for, I found the reported issue (and your responses) in the recent Channel 9 (Sydney) thread.

When do you think you'll be able to make the release?

By the way, is there a way to render the subtitles using a custom font face? Teletext subtitles are not particularly attractive to look it... and other media players such as MPC-BE can use system-installed fonts.

Should be within the next couple of weeks.

You can’t currently specify the font, but I’ll try to make it configurable

Is there any chance you could provide an updated library or component to fix the issue ahead of the next release? I've got a few users who like to read subitles during playback. If not, I'll try to 'downgrade' from another system not yet updated.

Sub .. I think that subtitles are colour-coded to match the speaker, hope that is retained. From memory it was a big fail in VLC where there are not (that was earlier this year)

Yeah, they're still color coded, like they were in the past.

Teletext subtitles were broken a couple of releases ago when changed graphics rendering technology.
