Subtitle Size in Jellyfin Media Player Much Larger Than Web Player (Even on Tiny Sett - phainedev - 2025-08-11

Hi,

I’m using Jellyfin Media Player and finding that the subtitles are too big, even when I set them to Tiny.

In the Web Player, I have subtitles set to Normal and they look perfect, but in Media Player they’re noticeably larger. It’s bad enough that I don’t really want to use the Media Player and would rather stick with the Web Player, the problem is, I prefer Media Player because it works properly with HDR files.

Is there a way to make the Media Player subtitles smaller, or to match the size between the Web Player and Media Player?

It's a really annoying issue!

Thanks!
