Thanks a lot for your plugin Ragnar, it looks good but, unfortunatelly, it
doesn't work to me.

I'll try to summarize:
- Plugin compiles ok with VDR 1.2.5 but it fails with 1.2.6:
  patching file recorder.c
  Hunk #3 FAILED at 40.
- Let's take this channel as an example:
  C+Cine2:11891:V:S30.0W:27500:163:93,92:41:101:5:49:4:0
- _With_ ttxtsubs plugin compiled and loaded, I tune to C+Cine2 and I get
on console:
  ttxtsubs: No teletext subtitles on channel.
- Even changing definition of channel and removing TPID, same message is
displayed.
- _Without_ ttxtsubs plugin compiled, when I switch to C+Cine2 I get
subtitles on teletext page 801, which I select with my TV remote.
- Setup page for the plugin says
  Language: esl
  Hearing impaired: yes
  Record subtitles: yes

Once back without ttxtsubs plugin, when it comes to record this channel
(others have the same behaviour), TPID is dumped out. The more that I've
got is to put TPID as secondary audio so I can see the subtitles using
dvbtextsubs from linuxtv.org.

As it would be perfectly ok to me to have recordings with another track
with TPID, being reproduced from a recording, I asked yesterday how
difficult would it be to treat TPID just like another audio channel, for
example, and have it replayed from file.

My expertise in C/C++/DVB is poor/fair but, with some directions on where
to start, I'd dare to create a patch for VDR. Any hints?

Thanks a lot to you all guys.

PS: Wow! This was "trying to summarize" :-)
