Bullz Text v0.26

[hemertje]

New in version 0.26:

 

# Some channels have different Audio Language. If you want to Bullz_text to make audio changes in the same manner as subtitle just set the flag audio_change to 'on'

 

# The default value is 'off'

audio_change: off

 

-----

 

How to use bullz_text (Hopefully you know linux)

 

FTP to dreambox

bullz_text.cfg => /var/etc/bullz_text.cfg (ascii)

bullz_text => /var/bin (binary)

sub_title.so => /var/tuxbox/plugins (binary)

sub_title.cfg => /var/tuxbox/plugins (ascii)

and optionally

bullz_text.fnt => /var/etc/bullz_text.fnt (binary)

 

Before you make the ftp transfer you can edit

the configuration file at your wish. Please

use an editor which can handle Unix text or

execute DOS2UNIX after the edit

(http://www.lesve.org/zip/UDDU.ZIP

from bastet.com)

 

The colors of the subtitle is configurable. Either

you write the raw value or one of the preconfigured.

The raw value is an integer between 0 and 65535

 

It is also possible to edit the font file, bullz_text.fnt.

Normally this is not the case but if you want to do

this you have the utility Softy.

(http://www.lesve.org/zip/sfty107b.zip

[No support today])

In case you edit the file. Do not change anything else

than the pixels (No size or order)

 

Next you open a telnet connection to your dreambox and do the following

> cd /var/bin

> chmod 511 bullz_text # or chmod 733 for less security

> ./bullz_text

>

 

If you for some reason want to suspend the text output for some time

you can do that by creating the file /tmp/suspend_bullz_text

The size is unimportant. Through telnet you do this

with the command 'touch /tmp/suspend_bullz_text'

To deactivate the suspend just delete the file and the text should be there again.

telnet command for delete: 'rm /tmp/suspend_bullz_text'

It is also possible to suspend through the config file (See bullz_text.cfg)

 

In case you will start it at boot, just edit the file /var/etc/init.

Add the following line at the end of that file (but before 'exit' if that exist)

Important: Dont forget any character

 

if [ -x /var/bin/bullz_text ]; then /var/bin/bullz_text; fi

 

bullz_text has also some command line options (which overide config file)

-h A little help

-b Let the program run as background (default from version 0.16)

-f Let the program run as forground

-v Change output from console to stderr (your terminal)

Will only work in forground mode

-d <level> Change the debug level. (<level> can be 0 - 3)

-l <lang) Sets the country code (dan,fin,nor,swe,ita,eng)

 

More features in the 'bullz_text.cfg' file

 

bullz_text can reread the file /var/etc/bullz_text.cfg and change

some parameters during run time. To change parameters just edit the

file and when you have finished editing just run the script

'/var/bin/cfg_bullz_text'.

 

The only parameters which are read and changed during this are:

(The same as the GUI)

language:

language2:

colorindex:

delta_y:

audo_change:

 

GUI PLUGIN:

-----------

The GUI plugin can be started from the plugin menu.

Audio: Setting 'Audio select channel'

START: Press green button to start bullz_text

STOP: Press red button to abport bullz_text

CHANGE: Press blue button when you want to update your configuration

about : Press yellow button you will see version number and if you

are connected to internet even the latest released version of bullz_text.

Some status information about the running bullz_text

 

example:

Up: 84 s. Channel up: 4 s

Language: swe (691) - No timestamp

Available: swe nor dan fin

Up: Telling how long bullz_text has been executed

Channel up: Telling the uptime for the current channel

- No timestamp: Current channel has no timestamp

Language: None No choosen language is available

 

Important

=========

To abort the program just type /var/bin/kill_bullz_text in a telnet window

and a clean abort is executing. Do NOT use kill (or killall).

 

The program is using the Console for Notice, Warnings and Errors.

You can read the Console through a nullmodemcable to your PC. (just 115200 bps 8N1)

 

If you don't have this you can change in the configuration file or use command

line option (-v). If you run in background it will if force the messages to

console all the time.

 

Known limitations and bugs

It will only recognice the 'dan','eng','fin','nor','swe' and 'ita' language

For others language will the character probably be wrong

The size of the subtitle is not changable.

[Gast]

kan deze ook nederlandse ondertitels aan voor travel en tcm op de thor?

[Littlesat]

Ben ik al enkele maanden op forums aan het vermelden om er Nederlands bij te krijgen... Echter is er met deze versie weer niet bij.

[hemertje]

de nederlandse ondertiteling moet wel worden uitgezonden anders heeft het geen zin!

en door de buitenlandse filmproviders zal dit niet gebeuren lijkt me...

ik ben er namelijk nog geen tegengekomen die dat doet!

 

dacht je dat het een spraakherkenning en online vertaalprogramma was! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/loldev.gif" alt="" />

[Littlesat]

Op o.a. Travel wordt Nederlandse ondertiteling uitgezonden als ook via Halmark. Een leuke extra optie zou zijn dat je (via een aliaslijst) een teletext pagina kon aangeven die dan weer via Bulz de ondertiteling weer kan geven.

[Vl29]

inderdaad zodat die hinderlijke zwarte balk niet nodig is en er WEL een duidelijke ondertitel te zien is zoals bij de dvb ondertitels
