Why mpv isn't recognising sub font from storage? #860

Closed sujitfg1 closed 1 month ago

sujitfg1 commented 3 months ago

I've Adobe CaslonPro Subtitles Stored in Download directory and i wanted to use it as sub font so i wrote

sub-font='ACaslonPro-Semibold'

But it seem MPV isn't recognising the font and using Android default Serif font as fallback

What's proper way to use custom font?

Dir: /storage/emulated/0/Download/adobe-caslon-pro/ACaslonPro-Semibold.otf

There is no proper way to use a custom font since Android's sandbox likely will block read access to ones you store in public folder (same problem as all the other questions about external files).

So there's no way to do that?

BTW MPV sometimes don't change colour of subtitles any reason?
