I'm doing SCHEDULED recordings of DVB-T program and need pre-selected subtitles to be picked using the option "--sub-language fr" to select french subtitle track.

however the DVB-T media I'm capturing has 2 "french" tracks (the one for deaf people and the one I'm after in second position = "DVB - [Français]").
Unfortunately VLC seems to pick up the first it finds which is the one for deaf people.

Any hint to indicate VLC to pick the second one ? Note I CANNOT use the track index since I do not know in advance what it will be.

thanks a bunch!

It picks the first one, because this one is the default 888 teletext page set in the stream. No choice but force the spu track.

Any suggestion how to capture ALL subtitle tracks and ALL audio tracks using something like such as:

vlc dvb-t://frequency=506000000 --sout="#duplicate{dst=std{access=file,mux=ts,dst='C:\Users\Videos\test.mp4'},dst=display,select="program=519,es=1-1000"}"

and get a file which contains all audio,subtitle elementary streams but only the video stream corresponding to program 519


thanks!

I found a partial solution using the --sout-all option:
vlc dvb-t://frequency=506000000 :program=519 --sout-all --sout="#duplicate{dst=std{access=file,mux=ts,dst='C:\User\test.mp4'},select="program=519"}"

I have now all audio,subtitle elementary streams captured in the file.
The only remaining problem is to have simultaneous display. If I add the "dst" option in the duplicate module, I then obtain as many windows as there are sids in the dvb-t stream (ie the select seems to be ignored) . Any hint ?
