The VideoLAN Forums

HI!
First I'd like to thank you for a fantastic software!

Is there any codec that may decode MPEG-2 TS TELX for
me in VLC? The subtitles for most the channels I'm watching is
broadcasted as TELX? When I use Video->Subtitles->Track 1,
I get the following errors:

main error: no suitable decoder module for fourcc `telx'.
VLC probably does not support this sound or video format.


Also: One channel is using DVBS subtitles codec, and its working.
But there is a Green underline on the text, which is annoying.
I've tried different settings in Text Renderer->Freetype, but it does not
seem to work.

Could you please upload samples to:

ftp://streams.videolan.org/incoming?

cause i googled and there is NOTHING on this TELX available. And that is quite rare

telx is the internal fourcc we use for teletext
Although we don't support decoding of teletext, the demuxer has support for it because it could (not working yet) still be used for streaming support.

I'd also be interested in a sample.

Iv'e now posted a sample file for you.

I've found a program that is capable of handing TELX streams in
MPEG TS. It's called ProjectX:

If you download the software, open the sample and enter page 691 on teletext page, its able to show the teletext.
But I really wanted VLC to be able to process these streams?

could the
dvbtextsubs-0.2.tar.gz
port easily to vlc client..

Or maybe very small one .c file..
