Edit: after applying the patch, subtitles got smaller. I even tied -s 55, but size did not change...
Edit2: Maybe, I did get right.... Thought that -s = size.... What do -s -m -l mean?

Why don't you ever try running my patches without any arguments? If you would at least once did you wouldn't ask such questions

Font Size Patch v0.5.2 by sectroyer

error usage: ./fontsizepatch [-p PID | -n procname] -d (debug on)
-p, --pid pid of process to attach
-n, --procname name of process to attach
-d, --debug enable debug output

You can specify three values:
-s, --small small font size (def. 29)
-m, --medium medium font size (def. 32)
-l, --medium large font size (def. 35)

So as you can notice there three font sizes used by TV (changeable trough tools menu:) ). Small, Medium and Large With -s you were only change "small" size and your TV was switched to let's say medium subtitle size it didn't change anything

It seems the crashes happened only during boot time so you may still encounter one Anyway new version uploaded (much safer) please test. It shouldn't cause any more crashes

Well done!

No more hang/crash, patching is nearly instantaneous even on first launch:

(Is it possible to apply the same method to seekpatch? )

Btw, I've no font size choice at all in Tools menu, I'm going to see and report which one amongst SML is effective in that case...

EDIT: useful value when no size choice is -m one

Yes this technic can be used to fix your problems with seekpatch. Moreover it may be used to some other of my patches (currently not released or still work in progress) and that's why I wanted to fix problem instead of rewriting everything:)

Your TV is strange Are sure you don't have "subtitle settings" option (or something similar) in tool menu just below "subtitles on/off" switch?

If I had this option, I'd have set it to at least LARGE for a long time

I confirm my TV is strange, but it also always appeared to be efficient for debugging

go to Sous-titres..... It will open a new dialog...

Does this new version of patching work also for you ?

[greenhorn]

Haven't tried the new one (do not have access to my TV right now). I will check later today...

[zoelechat]

go to Sous-titres..... It will open a new dialog...

You're right, then I have the choice ON or OFF

Anyway, no matter now I have a wonderful patch to fix definitively decent readable size
