In this -case, it is your responsibility to ensure the encoding is valid. For instance, -if your data is already encoded in *Complete EBU Latin based repertoire*, you -must specify both --charset=0 and --raw-dls. Known Limitations ----------------- The gain option for libVLC enables the VLC audio compressor with default settings. This has more impact than just changing the volume of the audio. -*mot-encoder* encodes slides in a 10 second interval, which is not linked -to the rate at which the encoder reads the PAD data. It also doesn't prioritise -DLS transmission over Slides. - Some receivers did not decode audio anymore between v0.3.0 and v0.5.0, because of a change implemented to get PAD to work. The change was subsequently reverted in v0.5.1 because it was deemed essential that audio decoding works on all receivers. -- cgit v1.2.3
