Hello ivtv, first, Thanks for the great work on the ivtv driver it is a key part of our entirely open source archive system. I am working on an open political proceeding's archive project: (metavid.org)
To capture the close captions stream I have been just running the following via the ivtv drivers #ivtvctl --set-vbi=cc #cat /dev/vbi > text_file #tail -f text_file ... take text every 30 seconds, run some clean up and insert it into the db. This ofcourse never worked very well (there was gibberish and what not) now possibly because I updated ivtv to v0.4.4 or changed some other parameter its now even more gibberishy than before and not really working at all.... I tried using the zvbi lib to decode the raw cc stream ....running: #zvbi-ntsc-cc -d /dev/vbi -c -p ...but it just scrolls with "read error" Any ideas as to how to grab the ASCII close caption data in a relatively cleanly? Or just print ASCII close captions to the screen? thanks for you time, -michael _______________________________________________ ivtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-users
