Ok yea we've had to hide a number of features in the LG app in order to ensure a successful result with the LG review process. We have this feature built for the LG app. We'll try to make it available soon. Thanks.

Color is planned for a future release, thanks.

 

I would also love for subtitle color (White is not so good on projectors/spoils the contrast a bit). 

 

Is this still on the to-do-list?

Yes it is.

When subtitles size settings will be available on android tv app (Nvidia shield)? Default size is way to large.

Also, could you add subtitles position settings? I like them to be positioned on the bottom of the screen (below black bars, if video have black bars).

[Luke]

This is planned for the future in all apps. Thanks !

Hello,

I apologize if this question has already been asked, but is there any chance there would be the option to add/remove a dark background to the subtitles? I usually use Emby to cast videos from my PC with Chromecast and I found out that, if I need subtitles, a dark background make the reading much easier for people like my mum, who has an eye condition (macular degeneration). 

 

Thanks!

Hi, yes we plan to add that kind of option in the future. Thanks.

Bumping the necessity of this because if you have HDR TV in a dark room pure white subtitles are BLINDINGLY bright.

Yeah, tell me about it. I bought a HDR TV on Black Friday and it's insane. Had no idea it was going to be _that_ freaking bright. 

 

But it's also a problem when watching movies on a tablet in a dark room/in bed. Also hurts your eyes even on the lowest brightness setting. 

 

I've been using Kodi instead of the Emby client until they have time to fix it. Try it if you can; you can change most things in Kodi and if you install "Embycon" with the skin "Embuary" it's almost the same thing, but with lots of options for adjusting both video and audio parameters. 

 

But I don't have time to setup Kodi+Embycon for friends and family (it's not as stable as the emby client itself/requires a bit more maintenance), and they are also on me about the subs, so I'm really hoping they add it soon

Adding my support for this change/feature request - a few recent threads on the LG App for WebOS 3.0 as it's now using the built in video player and we appeared to have lost the ability to change size/font/colour of the subs now.  White HDR Subs are a particular problem ..

[pastorn]

Also adding my support to this important feature! :-)  Subtitles displayed in an pleasant manner in an important part of the movie experience. In my android dreams I always have the following features:

 

1) Subtitle fill color (two options: SDR and HDR)

2) Outline color

3) Size

4) Vertical position

5) Font

Any ballpark date when there will be an update for Android TV app about the subtitles size adjustment? Litteraly adding this feature (and figuring out how to handle many simultaneous IPTV recordings from start to finish without breaks - but that's for the other thread), would make an Emby experiance for me perfect. There would be no more requests from my side, just pure admiration for your product.

It's on our list for the app. We're going as fast as we can, thanks.
