US LiveTV - Closed Captions not Copied to MKV Transcode

Added by Sim Salabim over 2 years ago

So main issue is in the subject line although I notice when I go to Config->DVB Inputs->Services and click on a channel's "i" button, it displays no subtitle stream.
HOWEVER, when I do direct stream profile (e.g. default "pass" profile) I get closed captions. I did see various screenshots of the info page and I know it should list them there. The main objective is to keep the subtitles of recordings and record in h.265_vaapi (that part works really well)

System info:
HDHomeRun Connect Quadro (setup as "TV adapters, I saw some videos suggesting setting them up as IPTV, not sure if needed)
HTS Tvheadend 4.3-2008~ge2ae8f4eb
Newish i7 machine

For feature reference:
The issue is USA TVs use a standard for closed captioning that basically builds them into the video and thus they are not recognized by TVHE as subtitles.
Here is more details about this:

Using profile "pass" allows you to have client software to decode them, if supported.
