Feature Request: Subtitle renderer refresh #37

Open OrangeChannel opened 5 years ago

OrangeChannel commented 5 years ago

When launching a script + accompanying video with a font not currently "active" through my font manager, the video will not display any subtitles, as expected. However, after activating the font(s), the only way to refresh to make it start displaying the subtitles is to close the video and re-open it. Would be neat if there was an option under Subtitle > to refresh the display without having to re-load the video.

I think the best way to implement this is with a toggle to turn on/off the currently selected renderer, which is on the todo list. Currently you can hack at it by cycling through the renderers, but I agree it should be easier to accomplish.

Edit: l0's also noted that a decent option for this is making a dummy provider that doesn't actually render any subs, since that's easy to implement. Something to consider.

@Myaamori found a way to do this with a hotkey and iirc that also works when you only have a single renderer available (on Linux).

Edit: Ah, I see this was talked about on discord. For the record:

[23:57] Myaamori: video/subtitles_provider/cycle is the command btw
