When playing movies with idx/sub subtitles, they are huge and cyan with a large border. How can I adjust that behavior to match that of the SRT ones?

[jmarshall]

You can't - they're embedded bitmap graphics. The colors I believe are currently not right though.

OK, I don't mind seeing DVD's native subtitles, but OSXBMC doesn't display them correctly. See example:
They're huge, cyan and have a big fat border. So I guess this qualifies as a bug.

the ffmpeg libs is missing a patch i've added to handle the palette in vobsub files. elan?

Ah, good to know. Can you email me the patch and I'll incorporate it into my build of the ffmpeg libs?

Thanks!

Any news on this one? I would like to see all subtitles always white with black borders. (Though i use linux version)

As they said the sub/idx are graphics not characters. Are you using those kind or .srt/ssa?

Patience..

Yes those are bitmaps, but palette can be fixed. Mplayer(2) shows always selected colors, shouldn't be big problem with ffmpeg/XBMC?

as far as i know, this never really worked with xbmc...

MythTV fixed same problem in 24956 svn. But they changed to git, can't view old svn links.

Ffmpeg is mostly same, both GPL..

Ffmpeg list had some talk about fixing subtitle colors.

Still means squat with respect to xbmc source code.

cars have wheels, so do trucks but that does not mean my car can load 10 tons a rocks.

And patch that fixes DVD subs colors inside ffmpeg has zero to do with changing a subs color and size in xbmc source code.

What is the the problem then?

the ffmpeg libs is missing a patch i've added to handle the palette in vobsub files. elan?

Some forgot to add this?
