djonnie 14 Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Hi, When playing movies (with external SRT files) with the Web Client in Chrome background shading for subtitles has disappeared. Emby Server 3.0.7100.0 I'm running Chrome 53.0.2785.143 m (64-bit) on my PC, but it's the same with Chrome on my tablet. In Firefox everything works fine though. Chrome: Firefox: In bright scenes it can be very difficult to read the subtitles without the shading. Is this changed in Emby (I upgraded a few weeks ago) and is it customizable? Thanks, djonnie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37113 Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 yes it was changed based on community feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djonnie 14 Posted October 9, 2016 Author Share Posted October 9, 2016 Could this please become configurable? Playback in Chrome is unusable at the moment, since many times the subtitles are unreadable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37113 Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 It's a possibility to consider for the future, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djonnie 14 Posted October 9, 2016 Author Share Posted October 9, 2016 I'm wondering, if this has changed because of feedback, why is this only implemented in Chrome? Or is this default Firefox behavior? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37113 Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Not all browsers allow custom styles for it, although i think newer versions of firefox might now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djonnie 14 Posted October 9, 2016 Author Share Posted October 9, 2016 (edited) Tried to fix it using custom CSS but ended up editing mediaplayer-video.css: ::cue { background-color: rgba(0,0,0,.8); text-shadow: 2px 2px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 1); -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; font-family: inherit;} Now it works fine in Chrome. These settings will be overwritten during Emby Server upgrades, that's why I'm documenting these changes. (Besides, auto updating does not work on my RPI.)

Just need to force Custom CSS with "!important". ::cue { background-color: rgba(0,0,0,.8) !important} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebr 14930 Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 If possible, perhaps an outline instead of a shadow would make them more readable...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
