Reto and I *did* point out that this is very old, right?

Where is that reflected in your command line? Did you read my email????

Your input has four streams. Your command line has "-map 0:0 -map 0:1",
so you are not even mapping the subtitle stream, which is 0:3. That's
why your ffmpeg output says:

> Codec AVOption txt_page (list of teletext page numbers to decode, * is all) specified for input file #0 (http://85:5454@159.8.154.85:5455/Gold) has not been used for any stream. The most likely reason is either wrong type (e.g. a video option with no video streams) or that it is a private option of some decoder which was not actually used for any stream.

Hany, you actually need to *read*. Read our answers and read the
2warnings and error messages. They are useful and they are there for a
reason!

And you need to update your ffmpeg. If you can't build and can't find a
repository, do check here:

Last question: Any particular reason for using "-r 30"? Why bother?
