<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>Don't know how i could miss that about teletext :P I really was(am) stupid =)<br><br></div>Has anything changes recently? Because the subtitles is much bigger than they were before, maybe 6 months ago. I know that they have been smaller.<br><br></div>But sure, if it is not supported i just have to wait until support is added, if ever. But the biggest problem is the lack of the Swedish characters. I've been trying different fonts, and different encodings. And i did have the Swedish characters before my "accidental" upgrade of Ubuntu and MythTV.<br><br></div>Is there anything I can do, debug wise, to find out f.ex. what encoding i should use? Now i have ISO-8559-1 (also tried ISO-8559-4) but still no Swedish characters. And what i have found on the web, that should contain Swedish characters?<br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, May 5, 2015 at 6:03 PM, Jim Stichnoth <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:stichnot@gmail.com" target="_blank">stichnot@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_extra"><div class="gmail_quote"><span class="">On Mon, May 4, 2015 at 2:01 PM, Stefan D <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:raptorjr08@gmail.com" target="_blank">raptorjr08@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);border-left-style:solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div>Thank you for your help, but I am feeling really stupid.

There's a big "Note" in <a href="https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Osd_subtitle.xml" target="_blank">https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Osd_subtitle.xml</a> that for the "teletext" family, the only part of osd_subtitle.xml currently used is the font name. This restriction (or more accurately, why it's not yet implemented) is for a few reasons:</div><div><br></div><div>1. The teletext commands are pretty specific about setting foreground and background colors (and whether the background is transparent), making it hard to devise a way to selectively control some of the attributes.</div><div><br></div><div>2. Teletext has this interactive feature that other subtitle families lack.</div><div><br></div><div>3. Teletext has non-textual "mosaics" which are like low-res graphics.</div><div><br></div><div>That said, if the only customization you want (other than font choice) is to change the transparency level of subtitles marked as non-transparent, that would be much easier to fit into the existing model. To hack it in the source code by hand, look in teletextscreen.cpp in TeletextScreen::SetBackgroundColor() for this line:</div><div> m_bgColor.setAlpha((ttcolor & kTTColorTransparent) ? 0x00 : 0xff);<br></div><div>and change the 0xff value to 128 or whatever you like.</div><div><br></div><div>Going forward, it seems like background alpha, text shadow, and text outline may be properties that would make total sense to draw overrides from osd_subtitle.xml. Maybe other properties as well.</div><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><div><br></div><div>Jim</div></font></span></div></div></div>
