Full Version: Subtitle position

Kind people with lots of knowledge of kodi,

I have a small favor to ask. Is it possible to change the subtitle position on screen prefixes? Specifically the option "bottom of video".

IMHO, I think the subtitle is located too much the bottom of the video with that option. I want it higher. Please don't tell me to use the "Fixed" option and use video calibration.
I want to set it to bottom of video but have the subtitles placed a few pixels higher, or like 5% of video/pixel ratio, so in that way it's always the same amount when watching 16:9 or 21:9.

Basically what I'm asking: is it possible to change subtitle position "bottom of video" to my own liking.


Thank you!

*edit*

I think it has something to do with this file: https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/blob/f42c66...rerGUI.cpp

At line 34:

Code:
if(m_subalign == SUBTITLE_ALIGN_TOP_INSIDE ||
       m_subalign == SUBTITLE_ALIGN_BOTTOM_INSIDE)
      m_align  = ALIGN_VIDEO;
    else
      m_align = ALIGN_SCREEN;

    m_pos    = POSITION_RELATIVE;
    m_x      = 0.5f;

Thanks for your reply. But that info is not what I'm looking for. What I want is somewhere in the code I think.
My problem isn't fixed with video calibration.
In there you can adjust to a certain degree the placement of your subs.
