Subtitle position

[Kruk]

Hi,

I already posted here https://forum.jellyfin.org/t-jellyfin-fo...0#pid45910 but nor sure if this should not be in this section, here. If this or the other one will be treated as duplicate please  remove.

It looks like that version 0.18.2 is having problems with displaying the subtitles correctly. I'm experiencing the same issue as in this GitHub topic. https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-and...ssues/4234

Subtitles rendered above bottom black bar on movies with Aspect Ratio 2.35:1

Confirm that subtitles aren't displayed correctly. Specifically, the size seems smaller and their position is above the correct one, which seems to indicate they are being drawn with the position having to be inside the video and not overlapping the black bars (which is how it used to be and how it is universally preferred)

Also option to offset subs from the bottom is not longer available in the latest version. Not sure if this is intentional "feature" or bug but watching experience it not great anymore. Can someone please check and comment re this.

Returning to v0.17.9 fix the issue.

Info:

Jellyfin v0.18.2 for FireStick 4k Max 2nd gen

This issue is preventing me from watching anything on my TV. The subtitles are placed inside the cropped image of movies instead of using the bottom black bars space.
"Other" players don't do this.

This is not an issue of the subs being displayed incorrectly.

The current behavior is still correct.
What's happening is that the subs are using the dimensions of the video to adjust themselves automatically.
That's done because many subtitle types need to follow this to display properly over the video.

As an example, many ASS subs have tags that position subtitles over exact parts of a video.
If the subs didn't follow the video dimensions, ASS subs containing position tags would not work if the player changes its expected dimensions.

For simple subtitle types like SRT subs, forcing it to use the video dimensions isn't that necessary.
The main dev behind ATV has stated that if enough people want to see the old behavior back, they'll consider working on bringing it back in the future.

But again, the current behavior is not wrong. It's even how VLC handles it from my experience.

Where's that thread that the ATV dev is mentioning this?
