There is a patch for VDR 1.3.5 included. It may or may not work with later VDR versions. Also see Rolf's patch in the contrib directory. This may be the last version for VDR 1.2.x, as I hope to start turning my attention to VDR 1.3.x now. - New features: - Italian translation, thanks to Sean Carlos - French translation, thanks to Stéphane Esté-Gracias - German translation, thanks to Tobias Grimm - Another ElchiAIO fix, thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg - Added a "contrib" directory with a VDR 1.3.8 test patch from Rolf Ahrenberg - Added a TROUBLESHOOTING document because of reports from Germany that ttxtsubs doesn't work there. It seems that most German channels on the birds at 19.2E don't announce the subtitles in their Service Information. Please see the document for further info. - Bugs fixed: - Corrected (again!) national charset selection bit swapping, there was a typo in the fix in 0.0.5pre1. 2004-03-02: Version 0.0.5pre2 - New features: - Text colours can be set and row spacing can be adjusted. (The usual semitransparent "background" colour appearently doesn't work with the ElchiAIO patch, don't know why.)

English, Finnish and Swedish now included, others are welcome! - Bugs fixed: - Information for channels with no teletext at all is now cached too, making channel switches to such channels faster. - Note: - The VDR 1.2.x patch "VDR.patch" is the same as in ttxtsubs 0.0.4b, and the 0.0.4 and 0.0.3d patch should work equally well - there is no need to repatch if you previously used any of those. 2004-03-01: Version 0.0.5pre1 - New features: - More than one language can be chosen, they are used in order of preference - Handles languages with two ISO 639-2 identifiers (as ger/deu, fre/fra) - Subtitles can now be turned on or off - Optional main menu alternative for easy access - Selectable vertical position of text for 4:3/Anamorphic or Letterbox - Left, Center or Right horizontal position of text - Remapping option for those French channels that incorrectly sends teletext page numbers in decimal instead of hexadecimal. Very moderate remapping done at the moment, I hope it is enough. - Subtitles are now recorded with their PTS (timestamps). Note that the timestamps are completely wrong on some channels, this may confuse uncareful subtitle extracting software. - Included patch for VDR 1.3.5 - untested! - Bugs fixed: - Fixed a net-to-host-order bug in the si parser that could make it incorrectly think that there are no subtitles on a channel. Thanks to Nicolas "tarass"! - Fixed a bit swapping bug causing incorrect character encoding for some languages.
