Placeshifter using mplayer?

[TechBill]

Is the placeshifter using mplayer to view the mpeg from SageTV server? I asked because I notice one of the exe in the folder is a Mplayer.

If it does use Mplayer and is there a way to start Placeshifter or tell it to use the switch -subcc or add a mplayer config file to it?

I need Closed Caption and Mplayer do support it if it was excuted with an -subcc switch

example
mplayer -subcc tvshow.mpg

Thanks

I just did some test and yes it does use mplayer for playback and I got the Closed Caption working on Placeshifter by adding a config for mplayer in the Placeshifter directory.


Cool .. that put placeshifter on my list to buy software.

For those whom like to get closed caption working on Placeshifter.

I posted a guide and attached files need to get closed caption working on Placeshifter at http://forums.sagetv.com/forums/show...971#post242971

It may not work for every tuner out there but this is working for me and I use Hauppauge PVR 500 tuner card using latest drivers.
