Digicipher/SCTE-27 Subtitle support

[BrainyLad]

Hi,
Does VLC player support SCTE-27 subtitles. Is there a way where i can load a particular codec and get to the see the subtitle. I have a TS in which 1 of the services has digicipher subtitle. The VLC is able to identify that there is subtitle but does not show it when i enable them.
Thanks

What are the messages that VLC gives?

[BrainyLad]

Hi Jean,
The service contains 3 Subtitle languages. Two of them are DVB subtitle (Type 0x6) and one is of Digicipher subtitle (Type 0x82). On choosing subtitle the VLC player displays the following -
Track 1 - [Espanol]
DVB Subtitles - [English]
DVB subtitles - [Espanol]

But on choosing Track 1 it does not display subtitles. However it works fine for DVB subtitles. I have cross checked on the content and it does contain the subtitles being displayed for all the three languages.

Please, share the VLC messages

Hi Jean,
Is it the Tools --> Messages option that you are referring to ? In that the messages section is empty.
Thanks & Rgds

Increase verbosity.

[BrainyLad]

Hi Jean,
Sorry for the delay in the response. The VLC player hangs whenever i tried increasing the verbosity.
So i had done it in two parts.
1. Played the TS
2. Chose the service with digicipher subtitle
3. Enabled the sibtitle (ffrom video --> subtitle option)
4. Launched the messages and increased verbosity and got the capture.

Similarly i had done the same for the DVB subtitle as well in the same service.

Please find below the corresponding logs -

I have the snapshot taken with the options being displayed here -

The ts is invalid, as the logs says.

"ts warning: invalid header [0x49:10:c6:db] (pid: 7680)" means that a least a program is ciphered.
The hangs you see are probably due to the high numbers of such messages.
To see if it would be easy to add the support of SCTE-27, I would need a sample (around a minute at least of playback).

Hi Jean/Fenrir,
Thanks for the response, i shall try to get you a 1 min video with digicipher subtitle in it.

I have the same problem. SCTE-27 Subtitles are not shown even if VLC shows the track.

TSReader also does not show this subtitles. Could be a problem with configuration. Please anybody knows how to show it?

[fenrir]

In order to be able to help, we need a sample with such subtitles.

Thank you. This link is for a SPTS qith Portuguese and Spanish subtitles on SCTE-27.

I want to check how to play it. Also if is possible to convert them to DVB, my encoder does not support SCTE-27.

Hi Fenrir,
Did you get time to look into the digicipher stream and support for the same in VLC ?

[HBETANCO]

Hi Fenrir,

VLC ver 2.0.2 shows selection of Subtitle in "Video" drop-down menu, so it does detect stream type "82" but does not actually display the image data for SCTE-27.

Do I need a new revision of VLC to display SCTE-27?

It has been about a year since content was provided, any news on support?

Please help.

Thanks,
Hunter

I am afraid the support was not finished.

[fenrir]

I have started adding SCTE-27 support. But I would like to have more samples to test the decoder. Does anyone have other samples that they could upload?

[BrainyLad]

Hi Fenrir,
Were you able to get the content and include the support for Digicipher subtitle ?
Thanks

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

We never got more samples.

VLC 2.1.4 shows no subtitles for the samples at http://streams.videolan.org/streams/ts/SCTE-27 Are these supposed to work?
