Description:
This is a Closed Caption plugin for VDR. It extracts the USER DATA from the video stream and filters the closed captionning information. Then CC data are parsed and its commands interpreted in order to render the text using the on-screen display provided by VDR.
The plugin is now patching the OSD as VDR was not offering any way to notify the plugins when it's using the OSD for itself. The patch was extracted from Pekka Virtanen's subtitles plugin (Pekka Virtanen (http://virtanen.org/vdr/subtitles/); Pekka had a great idea implementing a simple hierarchy where displaying the higher OSD will hide all the lower OSDs.

Installation:
1)Get the last version of the plugin from http://cc.mknsys.com/cc.tgz;
2)Decompress the archive into your PLUGINS/src folder;
3)Make a symbolic link called cc, pointing to the current version of the plugin;
4)Apply the patch and recompile VDR
4)Compile the plugin;
5)Copy the plugin library to your VDR plugins folder.

Example:
export VDR_BUILD=/vdr
export VDR_RUN=/apps/vdr
wget http://cc.mknsys.com/cc.tgz
