Subtitles displayed with solid black background in recent versions #264

Open eltiel opened 4 years ago

eltiel commented 4 years ago

In recent versions of the Android app (I think starting from 0.9.8), all my subtitles have a solid black background regardless of what subtitle style I set. It happens to both direct streaming as well as transcoded videos.

It's not a huge problem, but the subtitles are rather unsightly. unnamed

Is this an intended behavior?

Sorry - after posting this, I experimented by downgrading my app version all the way down to 0.9.6 and realized that the opaque subtitle background is still there. It might not be due to the version after all, but I could swear that it wasn't like this a while ago.

The only other thing that changed on my device was that I upgraded to Android 10. But could that have caused something like this?

We have subtitle options in the user preferences that you might have accidentally changed.

I'm aware that there are subtitle options - but none of them is to enable/disable opaque background. All I see are Text Size, Font and Drop Shadow. Changing the Drop Shadow option does nothing.

What JF version you run? And what type of subtitles is this (.srt, .ass, something else)?

Version 10.4.3. Tested with both embedded subs in MKV container using SUBRIP codec, as well as external SRT subs.

Does the same issue happen on a desktop browser?

The web client works fine, even when played on the same device.

The font is huge but that's another matter.

If you reinstall the current version and still have the same problem it might be a Cordova issue.

I've reinstalled several times as I was doing a downgrade earlier. Tried every version from 0.9.6 onwards and it was the same thing.
