Hi, I'm using a Hauppauge 1590 USB-DVB stick, Debian 11, NextPVT 6.1.1.221106 (as installed with nextpvr-helper 2.1) and kodi 19.1 (the default that comes with Debian 11).
I have enabled Settings-->Player-->Language-->Enable parsing for closed captions but when viewing live TV (and having enabled closed captions from the icon) I do not see any closed captions. I am not using Windows, so I cannot directly call nextpvr.exe. I have explored all settings in NextPVR's web interface and all settings in Kodi itself, in case there was some setting I missed, but I do not find anything.
I would like to check that closed captions are getting through each layer, but I do not know how to do this. Is there a command (perhaps something in the dvb-apps package?) that I can use to verify that closed captions are coming out of the USB-DVB stick? After that, is there some way (without nextpvr.exe) to verify that closed captions are coming out of NextPVR? Thanks!
