Good day experts,
First time I stumbled around your site. I have spend the last 3 days reading around different post and sticking different information together. I just need a little help to make it all together. Here is my dilemma.
1. I have a high definition 22 inch wide screen monitor, it has DVI, analog(VGA), composite, S-video and component input, no speaker, no tv tuner.
2. I have a 5.1 home theatre for all audio needs.
3. Tivo series 2 connected to monitor, acting as a tv tuner and connected directly to tv tuner..
Everything is working perfectly, the only thing I am lacking are closed captions.
I was reading about Dtivo series 2, tivovbi and others. As I understand TIVOVBI can make the closed caption be displayed on the monitor.
How do I install it and use it?? what things should I watch out for?? Also found this post on dealtime (dealtime_com/forum/showthread_php?t=41313)

This thread continues cross-platform development for embeem's tivovbi. tivovbi is a userland program that grabs VBI (closed caption and XDS) data destined for the video outputs, and dumps it to the console, a file, or the on-screen display. tivovbi is commonly used to produce transcripts of television programs, and to implement on-screen captions on monitors that do not support CC.
Changes in the 20050202 release:
- added preliminary series2.5 osd support (surface creation may be faulty)
- added -r (remote) option and -w (wait) option
Prior work on tivovbi can be found in these threads:
Original tivovbi 1.03 release thread
Series2 OSD and tivovbi work
The -r option allows the user to toggle captioning from the remote control. More details are in the README. This option requires a Series2.0/Series2.5 machine at TiVo software 4.0 or above, and the routerplus kernel module found here.
On a Series1, tivovbi will run as-is.
On a Series2.0/Series2.5, tivovbi requires the s2vbi/pxmpegdecode module (in post #2).
Usage examples can be found in the README. This is how I run it on startup:
Code:
export VBI_MODULE=/lib/modules/pxmpegdecode.o
/usr/local/bin/tivovbi -c1 -oC -r0 -w
