Here is a description of how to extract subtitles from a TS file in HD. This allows you to work with all the TV programs of the freeview channels in the UK, German channels on Astra, Spanish channels etc, if recorded with an Enigma2 receiver like Dreambox, Vu+, Gigablue etc. (Use ProjectX for TS files in SD as described above.)

Quick guide to Extract DVB-Subtitles from TS HD file and convert to SRT in minutes:

I tried to copy the subtitle text (without time stamps etc) from Lingo-Player to run it in DeepL. For some reason you (I?) can't do this. I found a way round.

https://www.rev.com/captionconverter converts the SRT-file beautifully into normal text. Then I ran the text in DeepL, and this is the result:

Here is a simple way to download videos + subtitles of Spanish national channels.

Paste the URL "http://www.rtve.es/alacarta/videos/cuentame-como-paso/"

here: http://www.descargavideos.tv/changelog

Download video and subtitles. They can be used in VLC-Player.
"Descargar transcripcion" provides "srt" files

In order to use them in Lingo PLayer, you must convert the subtitles (which are "vtt") into a "srt" file:

I have the following problem: under the button "Subtitle Listing" of Lingo Player I can find the complete subtitle text of a film as normal text. I want to copy it and take it to Deepl to get it translated.
Normally I would mark the text with a left click and then copy it with a right mouse click. Yet, this copy function does not work here. Or does it?
I know that I can export the SRT file with the subtitles to "caption converter" to get the text but I would prefer to do this in Lingo Player.

Lingo Player doesn't work properly any more: Google Translate has gone. You could use the LAMP Player instead, but it does not run so smoothly

Although I am very late to this party, and although the app no longer works, thanks for the work you put in to put this thread together.
