[mythtv-users] Captions with HD-PVR help

[Mike Rice]

I've pulled out my pvr-150s and pvr-350 and have been trying to use one for
closed captions for my HD-PVR recordings.

http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Captions_With_HD_PVR

I verified that my TV shows captions on the composite input from my
Motorola DCH3200 cable box.  But for whatever reason I don't seem to be
recording any captions in the mpeg generated.  At least ccextractor doesn't
seem to produce any output and viewing the mpeg file in mythtv doesn't seem
to indicate there are captions.

Here's what I've done.  See anything I am doing wrong?

# v4l2-ctl -d /dev/vbi-pvr0 --set-fmt-sliced-vbi=cc=1
--set-ctrl=stream_vbi_format=1
# v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video-pvr0 -c video_bitrate=4500000 -c
video_peak_bitrate=6000000
# v4l2-ctl -i 2 -d /dev/video-pvr0
Video input set to 2 (Composite 1: ok)
# /usr/local/bin/ccextractor -s /dev/video-pvr0 -stdout

And ccextractor doesn't give me anything on a complete file either:

NOTICE: Due to the major rework in 0.49, we needed to change part of the

code in the MythTV's branch. Please report results to the address above. If
something is broken it will be fixed. Thanks
