Heres a sample of what I mean:
http://img452.imageshack.us/img452/9...bsamplewy2.jpg If you could make your external captions look like this it would be top shelf and damn near perfect. Any way you could also make it so we can have different text fonts and colors for individual films? Like have the subs for "300" be red and in blood spatter font or any given comedy be in comic sans font? I know im probably reaching with the last request but it would add a sweet element of emersion into our sage viewed films. |

I'll see what I can do.
You can already define 2 different fonts and 4 colors, but not on a movie specific basis. That just sounds too complex. John |

There are editors out there that can edit subs and their fonts, anyway to make your stvi recognize that each individual .smi file uses a different font and color?

always displays the captions be default
i have version 1.1.1 and sage 6.0, i upgraded to sage 6.2 and imported the Caption Playback version 1.1.7 and it works like it should except it always displays the captions be default and i don't know how to not have them on be default, i looked in Sage.properties and changed a few things but nothing worked how i wanted it to. for the time being i set custom3 to a button on my remote and just turn off the captions after starting playback of a recording or live tv. please let me know how to fix this. thanks

around 1.1.6, the default CC behavior changed slightly. In Detailed setup, go to Captions playback options and set "external captions" and "embedded captions" to disabled. Disabled is CC off at startup, and Enabled is CC on startup.

Just spotted this import while browsing the list of downloads. Glad to see that the work I did is still being put to use.

Thank you for your initial work on closed caption playback, and to JREkiwi for continuing the idea.

I haven't been keeping up with this thread, but I saw someone mention HDHR recordings. I was wondering, does this plugin allow the CC data to be used for showanalyzer on HDHR recordings?
|
#173

what are you looking to do, use the CC data to make showanalyzer more accurate? If so, no this plugin won't do that. now, if showanalyzer can load an .smi file to use while commercial scanning a recording, I dunno?
you can use ccextractor to extract CC from a digital recording. It's the only program that I know of that does digital CC extraction right now. I use it to extract CC from my HDHR and Firewire recordings.

Caption Playback in sage client
hello all,

The solution is to either use UNC paths for your recording directory. If you record to, for example, \\Server\Recordings , then the client will go to \\server\recordings withh out any problems. If you don't want to do UNC paths, then you can try to map the same drive letter on your client to the same drive on the server. So, if you were recording to the E drive, then you would need to map E on your client to the root of the E drive on the server. then, when the client looks for E:\recordings\tvshow.smi on the local E drive, it will find it through the drive mapping back to the server. UNC paths are much easier in the long run, expecially if you have multiple clients or your recording drive letters on the server would overlap existing drive letters on the clients that would prevent drive mapping back to the server.

new video card and now no Closed captions
I just had my video card die and up until then my closed captioning was working perfect. Now, I installed an ATI X1550 video card and can not get the closed captions to work. Any ideas?

check your video settings in Sage for stuff like the Video Renderer for overlay vs VMR9.
And if using Overlay, try playing with "Overlay color keyiing" and see if that makes a difference.

CC
I checked all of that..seems to be fine and I have made no changes to it. I seem to remember when I got it working the first time there was a registry key I had to change to point my CC from my Hauppauge 150 to the correct video card. Anyone have any idea what i am talking about?

OK, are you talking about .smi captioning or the built-in captioning recorded via the 150?
There were no regedits needed to make CC via the 150 work at all. If you did not mess with the 150's driver any, then you should still have CC in the mpeg file. You can run mpg2srt on a recording to make sure the CC is still being recorded. If it is there, then it is just a display problem. You say they don't work, how? Tthe captions option is stuck at OFF in the pop-up? Or you can change the captions to CC1 but you don't get any display. What video decoder are you using? embedded captions need a DVD decoder like nVidia Purevideo or PowerDVD/WinDVD. Sage MPEG decoder won't work. If running in overlay, you have to turn off "overlay color keying"

cc
Neither one of them work smi or built-in. I am using vmr9 w/ 3d and nvidia purevideo decoder. The captions are in the file and I can select the cc option and it goes to cc1 but no captions on screen.
