[mythtv-users] 'Censoring' decoding 'bad' words off of Closed Captioning

[James Armstrong]

I just upgraded to FC4 and the latest IVTV drivers and now have Closed 
Captioning working on local HD and recordings off of Dishnetwork. Has 
anyone thought about 'bleeping' bad words for phrases from shows as they 
are playing be looking at the CC data? There are products that do this 
built into VCR's / DVD players and Windows PC software. I think this 
would be a great feature to Myth. Also I took a brief look at the CC 
decoding code and see where V-Chip information is decoded. We can also 
block certain levels of ratings by password. Once the password is 
entered, you can watch shows for X number of hours until there is no 
activity, then it will prompt again.

Just a thought. I could look into it more if someone would give me 
pointers. Is the CC data stored in the file or decoded in real time 
while watching the show? What part of the code puts it on the decodes it 
/ reads it from the file / and puts it on the screen?

Thanks,
James
