Subtitle (caption) issues

[newagehun]

Regarding font size and color the solution is in:

CMultimediaMovieInfo::InitCaption
CMultimediaMovieInfo::UpdateCaptionTextSize

Color is set to 0xFFF0F0F0 ARGB

Size is stored value of menu item (I guess 0,1,2) * 2 + 24 --> CMmCaptionWnd::SetFontSize( 24 + N * 2 )
UpdateCaptionTextSize does the same.

Outline I think can't be done now. But I think setting the CaptionWindow's background color and alpha should be possible or setting the font background color and alpha.

Anyone digging this or just me?

People ask around for Subtitle problems. Some of them want to change color, others request shadow

Shadowing is possible with showing same subtitle twice with black %50 alpha colored + location shifted.
But question is could we change subtitle showing location? Also second write of subtitle will clear old subtitle too. We needed to keep old black shadowed one.
I wish to program with exeDSP source

I'm not sure how shadowing will look like (and i suppose it's more job because you have to deal with subtitle location) but idea with setting font background color (i propose light gray + alpha) sounds good. Anyway you do a great and hard job making changes to binary without source code

Hi

nice progress...

I'd be pretty happy with a fixed color subtitle, anything different from the current one.

Can we make a poll?

Regarding caption/text size: just increase the values by 1 >>> (1,2,3) * 2 + 24 --> CMmCaptionWnd::SetFontSize( 24 + N * 2 )

In my opinion the DTS is more important question, than the caption/text shadow, but... Overall, these just are my selfish wishes

many thanks!

Once subtitle control is gained, we can open the pool for modification. But now, its too early to open it.
DTS 's harder than subtitle control and this project follows SJF (shortest job first) logic

But you don't get anything with changing white to some other color. If you set font color to ie. green and picture background is green then you still don't see subtitles, same as you don't see white fonts on white picture background. So i think the best solution for this is setting a font background color to grey with some transparency.

Hi guys
Just to update on the subtitle issue.
Is there any progress on this?
It is crucial to have bigger subtitles in media player (UE46B7000) because the original ones are too small.
Color and background no matter for me...

[mageor26]

Yeah i agree that the size of the subtitles...even at the bigger size....are too small....and no i don't have problem with my eyes.....
so i agree that the size issue is more improtant than the color
