Description:
gSUB - Subtitle application for Dreambox
========================================

Current version: 0.54, 2006-02-16

What is gSUB?
-------------
This is a subtitle application for the Dreambox Set-Top-Boxes by Dream Multimedia TV Gmbh. It should be installed
onto your box and put into an "init" script so that it automatically starts when you start the box. Then, when you
select a channel with Teletext subtitles it will automatically start to show these.

System Requirements
-------------------
- Enigma based firmware in the Dreambox. Should work with any Dreambox model but the author is using a DM500T for
development, and this is hence the only box it is tested on.
- A Busybox with the "wget" command available. gSUB is using the WebIF to get some information from the Enigma and at the
time of this release it was using the "wget" internally. This is up for change and this requirement will be removed in
some future releases...maybe Check in your /bin directory for a symlink "wget" to Busybox.

Features includes...
--------------------
- Using TrueType fonts for displaying, using one color with outline. (White text, black outline is default.)
- Detecting if playing a recorded file and in this case a "delay" is added to get the subtitles into sync. (The time of
this delay is controlled through the gSUB.conf file.)
- Avoid to display subtitles if any Enigma window is detected.
- Selectable language, tested with Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Finish and English. Implemented German, but not
tested as the developer is based in Sweden.
- Selectable position of text to allow for 16:9 or 4:3 TV sets.
- Use background (black blob behind text) or not.
- Center/Left adjustment of text.
- Basic settings accessed through Enigma plugin.
- Advanced settings are controllable through a file, gSUB.conf.
- Automatic suspen during recording to conserve CPU power.
- Hardcoded channels in file gSUB.channels so that the user can show gSUB what language
it shall use when translating chars.

Planned upgrades
----------------
- Fixing Bugs bugs bugs...
- More suggestions???

- Small bugs fixed.


Install
-------
Install the files into the following structure:
var/bin/gSUB <- Exefile
var/etc/init <- init script that is starting gSUB
These lines of code could be moved into other start scripts
for example the ones used in 7020 images bootmisc.sh
var/tuxbox/config/gSUB/gSUB.conf <- config file for gSUB
var/tuxbox/config/gSUB/gSUB.channels <- config file for channels
var/tuxbox/plugins/gSUBConf.so <- The gSUB Configurator plugin
var/tuxbox/plugins/gSUBConf.cfg

NOTE! The included "init"-file is only containing the start of gSUB. If you have something else in your setup you should
merge the lines for starting gSUB into your "init" script.

Also, make sure that the font pointed to by the gSUB.conf is existing on your system. If you would like to use your own font,
simply point to it with the gSUB.conf and restart gSUB. Make sure it contains the characters for your language!

Language: The gSUB is implementing "translations" of special chars for different languages. This is done for the languages
defined above. Note that it is possible to select a non existing language in the conf file. If this is a correct language
code in the Teletext standard it should come up, but special characters are not shown. If you want this inside gSUB, make
notes about the displayed characters and what you were expecting and send it to the author. Maybe it will make it into the
next version of gSUB!


Hidden features
===============
Disable gSUB subtitles by executing "touch /tmp/.gSUB_Disable" and reenable it again
by executing "rm /tmp/.gSUB_Disable". This is what the Enable/Disable in the gSUBConf
does. This feature could easily be implemented in other places in the GUI.

Summary: While there is a file "/tmp/.gSUB_Disable" the gSUB will NOT render anything
on the screen. Everything else is operating as usual.


gSUB.conf
=========
Here is the default gSUB.conf file displayed:
============================================
##
## gSUB Config file, Note that it is VERY case sensitive...be careful!
## For gSUB Version 0.51
##

# Type 2 Subs, if TS supports it could be used as "5" for Hearing Impaired Subs as well... NOT TESTED!
SubtileType 2

# Language: tested with "swe", "dan", "fin" and "nor". NOT TESTED but implemented: german = "deu" or "ger"

# Recording delay: When playing recored files a delay for when the subs are show is given here, in seconds.
RecDelay 2

# Suspend While Recording: Set this to 1 to have gSUB sleep while recording...
SuspendWhileRecording 1

# Adjust these to get the subs to move a little,
# X=0 and Y=0 gives a good pos for 4:3 TV's. To move up, use a negative Y-value, left is negative X value.
StartYPos 0
StartXPos 0

# This has higher priority than StartXPos...so if this is 1, the StartXPos is ignored
CenterText 1

# Palette index...for a standard enigma skin 24-31 is black faded to white (i.e. shades of gray)

# The font you want to use, must be a True-Type font, i.e. end with .ttf
# Use /share/fonts/ or /var/share/fonts/ as paths. These are the ones used by gSUB Configurator.

# Login stuff...gSUB uses the WebIF to find out some things it needs...
WebLogin root

gSUB.channels
==============
If you have a channel that is not displaying subs it might be a simple bug in
gSUB...if you suspect this, contact the author! But, it might also be so that
the subs are not announced correctly in the transport stream. If this is the
case, you can add this channel to the gSUB.channels file. What you need is the
Service ID (SID), the Teletext PID (VPID) and the subtitle page. SID & VPID can
be found by executing this in a browser: http://youriptothedreambox/cgi-bin/status

Note that the language setting in this file (gSUB.channels) only selects a charset for
gSUB so that it can handle special signs. You can still have other languages selected
as your default languages. I.e. you can have "Swedish" as first, "English" as second
language but still use "esl" or "fin" in gSUB.channels to get Spanish or Finish subs.

When you have the information...just add to gSUB.channels like this sample:

## gSUB.channels
## If the subs are not presented in the stream so that gSUB can find them.
## Simply add them here! MAKE SURE YOU ADD ServiceID and TeletextPID in hexadecimal numbers!
##
## This file should be located at /var/tuxbox/config/gSUB/gSUB.channels
##
## /Gruffy
##

## In this file, the SVT1 and SVT2 for the Boxer Network in Sweden is added as samples,
## but they are "disabled" by adding "##" in front of them!
## The text behind the numbers can be anything...it is NOT used by gSUB

## Syntax:
## SID(in hex) PID(in hex) PAGE(decimal) LANGUAGE(three letters) Whatever_you_like_can_come_here

## Sweden - Boxer
##3f2 3ec 199 swe - SVT1 for Boxer Network
##13ec 3ec 299 swe - SVT2 for Boxer Network

on se parem kui pullitxt?

[binsat]

sai siis seda vidinat testitud natuke. esmamulje on päris hea.

miinused:
- erinevalt bullz textist ei toeta automaatset audio ümberlülitust. näiteks tv1000 easti peal saab seega kuulata venekeelse pealelugemisega monotoonset jorinat (seda siis niikaua kuni ise käsitsi right mono peale ei lülita).
- eesti keele täpitähtede kamm. väikese häkkimisega saab siiski asja enam-vähem korda. edisin ise sobiliku fontfile selle asja jaoks. tv1000 easti puhul "õ" asemel "o" siiski säilub. history ja exploreri supakad on 100% vastavuses.
// see fontfilega mässamine on lihtsalt ajutine kiire lahendus. plugina autorile sai edastatud vajalikud andmed eesti täpitähtede toe loomiseks. eks siis vaatab mis sellest välja tuleb..

- suht kasinad confi võimalused värvi ja supaka tausta kujunduse osas.

plussid:
- ttf tugi. võimaldab valida täpselt oma maitsele vastava fonti ja määrata vajaliku tekstisuuruse. kõige olulisem omadus imho.. sellepärast saadan ka bullzi nüüd jalga puhkama. :p
- bullz textiga võrreldes tundub, et toimib vilkamalt ja veavabamalt. seda siis käivitamisel ja restartil.
- soomekeelsete supakate näitamisega mingeid probleeme pole täheldanud. asi toimib 5+.

plugina arendustöö on ju alles suht algusjärgus ja loodame, et need väikesed puudujäägid peagi ka parandatakse.

[pƤƤrn]

Mida tegid? Praegu eesti tekst on küll jube. ä on {, õ on } jne.

[binsat]

Mida tegid? Praegu eesti tekst on küll jube. ä on {, õ on } jne.

Fonti sai muudetud niiviisi, et Fontlab-iga nende {}[]$@_ jms. asemele vajalik täht tõstetud. Jõhker lahendus, aga ajutiselt ajab asja ära. Alternatiivina tuleks kõne alla gsubi patchimine, pole aga viitsinud sellega mässata.

Praeguseks uus ja parem versioon väljas - gSUB V0.69. Paljud vead parandatud. Tähestiku jamad veel siiski mitte.

[kain]

Kas gSUB kolmandat keelt kuidagi ei toeta?
Näiteks, kui soome või poola keelt ei tuvastata, siis võetaks automaatselt hungarikeelsed supakad?

[Henry]

Väljas versioon 0.75
Lisatud eesti supakad

Tõstsin läbi ftp gSUB-0.75 faili dreamboxi tmp kataloogi et siis sinise nupu alt installida, kuid ei näita, et seal kataloogis oleks midagi, mida saaks installida:::?
Kas tegin midagi valesti?

[tv]

gSUB-0.75 faili võib alguseks lahti pakkida var kaustaks ning siis tuleks iga gSUB-0.75 fail vastavasse dreami kausta ftp ga lohistada. Restart ning plugin peaks nähtavale ilmuma.

[Marxist]

tegin nii, ja plugin on nähtaval, kuid mida pole on subtiiter näiteks tv1000 east või explorerli või history, valisin veel 1 keeleks est ja teise jätsin inglise keele, kuid tõlget ei ilmu

[tigekala]

restart...

[Marxist]

tegin restart, kuid ikka ei ole
