Modify Subtitle Appearance and Timing - Feature Request #143

Open userkace opened 1 year ago

userkace commented 1 year ago

Ability to change the appearance of subtitle (even just sizing) and timing so that we can sync it better.

huynhsontung commented 1 year ago

Subtitle time sync is planned to be implemented soon. As for customizing the appearance, due to LibVLC limitations, it is not possible to provide a good user experience to change these settings. This task requires a substantial amount of effort to improve VLC's subtitle rendering. I will update here when there is progress on this topic.

The font itself is great; its just that sizes on different display vary on the display scale, causing it to block substantial content on other sizes. Just a dynamic size or ability to pick between preset size could help with user experience.

Not a perfect solution but you can change the subtitle font size by using the "Advanced mode" in the settings. Add --freetype-rel-fontsize=10 into "Global arguments", where 10 is the font size value that you can customize. Please note that bigger values mean smaller text.

What about the colors? Sometimes the default subtitle color (is it pure black?) makes the text almost invisible in videos with dark backgrounds. I think it would be nice to have a toggler to override the color setting of the subtitle text.

Nice app by the way. Shall I send this in #29 ?
