I'm a new adopter of MythTV but I'm also seeing this behavior in my MythTV install.<br><br>Had problems compiling -fixes and the Trunk so I decided to use the Fedora 64 MythTV packages. I was planning to compile in the closed captioning patches that Clayton made (#7775)<br>
<br>Interestingly I've only been able to get MythTV to show closed captioning on the frontend maybe 1 or 2 times.<br><br>All of my recordings like Bart has said have the closed captioning in it since I can find it when I play VLC. I did notice that maybe MythTV is not picking up the CC when it switches between CC1 and ATSC CC1. The SD commercials still use CC1 and the HD shows use ATSC CC1 so that might be part of the problem.<br>

</div>With shows where CC works, I see the "###" trace lines. With shows<br>
where CC does not work, I see no such lines. However, CC works in VLC<br>
with these same .mpg files.<br>
<br>
The value of "Prefer EIA-708 over EIA-608 captions" does not seem to<br>
affect the behavior.<br>
