CCExtractor version: 0.94 built on macos 13.5.2

In raising this issue, I confirm the following:

  • [ x] I have read and understood the contributors guide.

  • [ x] I have checked that the issue I'm posting isn't already reported.

  • [ x] I have checked that the issue I'm porting isn't already solved and no duplicates exist in closed issues and in opened issues

  • [ x] I have used the latest available version of CCExtractor to verify this issue exists.

Necessary information

  • Is this a regression (i.e. did it work before)? {YES/NO} UNK
  • What platform did you use? Macos 13.5.2
  • What were the used arguments? {replace with the arguments}

./ccextractor -stdout -codec dvbsub -teletext -datapid 461 /Users/path/arc1.000001.ts

Additional information

VLC finds and displays two subtitle tracks with valid content from the linked segment abouve
ccextractor apparently "detects" those tracks but displays nothing -- can you assist?

FYI the eng subtitle track reads in part "I love it! Come on, go!" in both eng and french

This might be user error but it seems ccextractor cannot find/decode the data.

there is the answer in your program output:
DVB subtitles detected, OCR subsystem not present. Use -out=spupng for graphic output
