Automatic black margin in fullscreen #389

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. You want to have subtitle in the bottom black border in fullscreen
2. You go to Edit > Preferences > Subtitles
3. You must set an arbitrary value for "Subtitle lower margin"

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The subtitle lower margin should be computed automatically (SMPlayer does
that). May be by doing (screen_height - movie_height) / 2.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

0.9.9.2 on Ubuntu Lucid (Ubuntu packages)

What about for video that does not have a black border on the bottom? Or in 
cases
where the subtitle is larger than the border. Also mplayer generally does not 
tell
the size of the subtitle being displayed, so it is difficult to position 
properly
automatically.

I think having the video in fullscreen is a priority (on a automatic mode) on 
having
black borders at the top or the bottom. So if there is no black border, I think 
it's
better to have subtitle on the video than a smaller video.

And if the black border at the bottom is smaller than the height of the 
subtitle,
they may go on the video - in fact like they already does with the "Subtitle 
lower
margin" option.

(One possibility to make that case less frequent could be to only have a big 
black
border at the bottom, and none at the top, to have more place for subtitles, but
people may think this a little asymmetric.)

In all case, an automatic black border size would be more user friendly than the
current setting.

Setting the border size when we go to fullscreen, will require a restart of 
mplayer,
resulting in an unwanted media blip.
