Hey all. I looked around but couldn't really find anything related to this specifically: When I play a file containing Subtitles in the web browser player, they always show with a black backdrop. Is there any way to remove this backdrop? I have had multiple people confirm that it happens when viewing through their browsers. If that's not supposed to happen, why might it happen and has anyone been able to fix this? The PC running the MediaBrowserServer is an Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS system. For reference, here's a sample MediaInfo for a file which exhibits this behavior when played (quality setting: Direct) through the browser: General Format : Matroska Format version : Version 2 File size : 322 MiB Duration : 23mn 39s Overall bit rate : 1 899 Kbps Attachements : AppleGaramond.ttf / AppleGaramond-Light.ttf / arial.ttf / BISONPRR.TTF / CronosPro-Capt.otf / ElicitSSK-Bold.ttf / HATTEN.TTF / PIXEARG.TTF / TOARUmincho.ttf Video ID : 1 Format : AVC Format/Info : Advanced Video Codec Format profile : High@L4.1 Format settings, CABAC : Yes Format settings, ReFrames : 9 frames Codec ID : V_MPEG4/ISO/AVC Duration : 23mn 39s Width : 1 280 pixels Height : 720 pixels Display aspect ratio : 16:9 Frame rate mode : Constant Frame rate : 23.976 fps Color space : YUV Chroma subsampling : 4:2:0 Bit depth : 8 bits Scan type : Progressive Title : H.264 720p HDTV Writing library : x264 core 114 r1924+495 ccd7045 Encoding settings : cabac=1 / ref=9 / deblock=1:1:1 / analyse=0x3:0x133 / me=umh / subme=10 / psy=1 / fade_compensate=0.80 / psy_rd=0.40:0.00 / mixed_ref=1 / me_range=24 / chroma_me=1 / trellis=2 / 8x8dct=1 / cqm=0 / deadzone=21,11 / fast_pskip=0 / chroma_qp_offset=-2 / threads=6 / sliced_threads=0 / nr=0 / decimate=1 / interlaced=0 / constrained_intra=0 / fgo=5 / bframes=10 / b_pyramid=2 / b_adapt=2 / b_bias=0 / direct=3 / weightb=1 / open_gop=0 / weightp=2 / keyint=250 / keyint_min=23 / scenecut=40 / intra_refresh=0 / rc_lookahead=60 / rc=crf / mbtree=1 / crf=18.0 / qcomp=0.60 / qpmin=0 / qpmax=69 / qpstep=4 / ip_ratio=1.40 / aq=1:0.60 Language : Japanese Default : No Forced : No Audio ID : 2 Format : AAC Format/Info : Advanced Audio Codec Format profile : LC Codec ID : A_AAC Duration : 23mn 39s Channel(s) : 2 channels Channel positions : Front: L R Sampling rate : 48.0 KHz Compression mode : Lossy Title : AAC 2.0 Language : Japanese Default : No Forced : No Text ID : 3 Format : ASS Codec ID : S_TEXT/ASS Codec ID/Info : Advanced Sub Station Alpha Compression mode : Lossless Title : Styled Subtitles Language : English Default : Yes Forced : No Menu 00:00:00.000 : en:Prologue 00:01:03.564 : en:Part A 00:10:32.966 : en:Opening 00:12:02.889 : en:Part B 00:22:09.870 : en:Ending Any help would be appreciated.
