Not sure if this is the right place but maybe somebody had the same problem already and knows an easy solution.
I was looking into why I don't have teletext when I timeshift under certain conditions (timeshifting with running recording) and it looks like the VDR recordings don't have any teletext at all. So after googling a bit I found some old discussions about patching vdr to allow teletext recording, but I couldn't find any recent infos on it. So my question is easy (I guess); Do I still need to patch and compile vdr myself to get teletext in recordings or is there an easier way by now?

AFAIK vdr still does not record teletext.

If vdr-plugin-ttxtsubs installed vdr should record teletext.

The problem is XBMC developers isn't interested to support teletext for .ts files.

No it's not, the problem is VDR (or whatever backend you're using). XBMC has nothing at all to do with the creation of the file.

XBMC won't show subtitles anyway without support for it even with recorded teletext.
TVheadend can show for livetv because it has some own support for teletext but doesn't work for recorded files.
For that XBMC's Player need support for it.
Are you sure it doesn't record teletext? Tried press 'v' when you watch the recorded file? that should work but subtitles is ofcourse out of sync there.
Ofcourse you could try that patch but with XBMC it doesn't really matter right now.

Tvh and xbmc works with subs both on livetv and recordings if you default .mkv and not .ts

Yes but i record on my box and it records as .ts with everything in it. It records everything that comes in.
XBMC should support TELETEXT on .ts files before it's usable as a replacement for any box.
Transcoding to .mkv needs more cpu usage so that's not an option for everyone.
And if you stream from a linuxbox you need to setup virtual tuners.
vtuner doesn't even work with newer kernels.
But even if tvheadend and vdr supports subs with mkv it's still not TELETEXT as we talked about here.
Why is it so difficult for XBMC developers to fix support for sometinhg that most players and mediacenters already can do?

Lars told me, that this forum could help to solve a problem concerning subtitles.
My configuration:
linux vdr-server with several DVB-S receivers and the vnsi-server addon on the one side.
Some xbmc raspberry clients with a vnsi-plugin and some native vdr clients on the client side.
It is no problem to watch subtitles (and to look at teletext) from each client.
It is possible to record emissions that contain subtitles with the native vdr client and to watch the recordings with visible subtitles with both type of clients.
So both client types show the subtitles in a live emission and from a (vdr) recorded dvb-s stream.
BUT it sems not to be possible to record the emission with all the subitles by the means of the vnsi-server plugin/addon.
As you know, there are two types of subtitles; one is a function of teletext data transmission and the other is part of the DVB-S stream. As far as i can see the dvb-s stream should contain all these subtitles in my case.
Is it a mistake in my configuration or doesn't the vnsi-server save the complete dvb-s stream, so that subtitles are lost ?

Recording is done by vdr only, vnsi just sets the timer. What do you consider the "native vdr client"? vdr does not record teletext so a recording won't have teletext subs. But a recording has dvb subs. What subs are you referring to?
