Bug 240702 – media-plugins/vdr-osdteletext kills vdr-1.6.0, when TTXT is non-ASCII and channel is not FTA

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO

[Description J.Taimr 2008-10-09 15:30:38 UTC]

Plugin osdteletext works nicely under vdr-1.6.0 but only when TTXT does not contain non-ASCII characters or if it is FTA channel. An attempt to read teletext on non-FTA non-ASCII channel ends up with the segfault of whole vdr, just a few seconds after it displays 'Page 100:0 not found'.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Try start ttxt on CT1, CT2 or Prima (CS-Link 23.5); the vdr is killed immediately by segfault after the starting message
2.Try start ttxt on CT24 (CS-Link 23.5) - everything works
3.Ditto for example RTL4, RTL8 (19.2) - these work, SAT-1A also, but CT1, CT2 at 19.2 (UPC) not

Actual Results:  
vdr killed by segfault

Expected Results:  
It should work..., similarly as like as Bastlir's tarball from www.cssf.cz

The solution is already known and available on the net. I prepared modified ebuild for vdr-osdteletext and patch, which can solve the problem.

Im added on 06 Jan 2009 a version bump to
vdr-osdteletext-0.7.0 to the tree.
Plugin has removed the old i18n support, means it is only ready for >=vdr-1.5.8 with utf8 support.

Plz, can you check/test the newest version and report plz if still the problem in the latest version.

Thanks
