I know that it sounds stupid, but after upgrading to 1.4.5 subtitles 
recording works flawlessly.

Maybe just because of restart.


I have :
- Gentoo
- kernel 2.6.19  - probably you too ;)

Of course, silly typo (1.6.19- hyvää Luoja!). :)


I strongly recommend using Gentoo for VDR.

I hope, this is not necessary. Slack is fine too. ;)

For what it is worth, I haven't had any problems with subtitles since
1.3.38 or something, which was the last time when the DVBsubs.patch of
the vdr-subtitles plugin needed to be adjusted.  Last night, I upgraded
straight from 1.4.3 to 1.4.5, and there weren't any conflicts related
to the DVB subtitles.

To be honest, I do have one problem with DVB subtitles: when there are
multilingual subtitles (for instance, Finnish and Swedish) in a recording,
vdr seems to pick the language at random when playing back the recording.
Sometimes it even switches the language on the fly.  This doesn't happen
in live playback.  When I asked the author of the plugin (Pekka Virtanen)
about this a long time ago, he said that the fix would require some user
interface changes.

 I strongly recommend using Gentoo for VDR.

So is Debian GNU/Linux (unstable).  I'm using self-built kernel, DirectFB,
ffmpeg, vdr and plugins.  I believe that the Debian packaged ones would be
good by now, unless you need some special patches to vdr.  Even then,
you could probably apply the patches to the Debian source package and
build your own binary package.

Re: [vdr] Centralized VDR solution?

I am using Hauppauge MediaMVPs to connect to a central VDR system
containing 3 DVB-S cards. VOMP is running on the MediaMVPs
(http://www.loggytronic.com) and apart from missing
* DVD support
* Cutting

this system contains everything I want. And it has a great WAF factor :-)



Now this looked very good! Almost exactly what I was after. Few things
missing still but seems that there is active development thus will be
implemented later on.
  
I took a look at this also. It seems good as long as you do not watch 
channels with subtitles. And we do have those in finland (YLE).

Few things missing:
-HDTV due to HW. Any idea if there is going to be HDTV version of the HW
later on? Most likely HTPC is much better solution for HDTV anyway due
to deinterlace and scaling which requires quite much CPU power (see next
Q about PC version of VOMP).

  

Subtitle support should be added to missing things.

-similar (or same) system running on PC. The idea for kitchen (yes, I'd
like to have TV on kitchen for the morning news) TV would be to use All
in one LCD -type of PC such as this:
http://hitony.en.alibaba.com/product/0/51321326/15__All_in_One_LCD_PC.html

Does VOMP work on normal PC as well (I missed this info)?
  
There is also a windows client if this is what you meant. Can be found 
on the same site.

-the graphics on VOMP I assume is not changeable (no skin or theme
support - would require recompiling I assume but still)?


What about the picture quality of the MediaMVP: is it good, average, poor?

Anyway, this is very good news!

Br, Pasi

  
Even though missing subtitles I decided to get a MediaMVP for my self as 
a bedroom box.
