mbguy 38 Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 I can’t find subtitle size/color adjustments on Emby’s Android TV app which I use on Shield. This is a real issue because my Samsung HDR TV is producing color shifts due to the brightness of the subtitle white text so I need to reduce subtitle size, change subtitle color or add a semi transparent block behind white text to prevent color shifts. I can perform these changes on Netflix and Prime apps but missing this ability to do so on Emby. Please, Emby team, are you guys close to getting this done?

Change Size, Color, Brightness, Enable/Disable Background? I meant what I wrote, that I couldn't locate the settings for the subtitles, because I thought "Sub/Audio" refers to subwoofer+audio due to semantic association effect and also I expected the subtitle settings to be available in-video not in app menu. Thanks for pointing out where it is though! Much appreciated. 5 hours ago, ebr said: Hi. Yes, this is available in that app. Please let us know if that answers your question. Yes it did. Thanks. Out of curiosity, may I ask why these settings are placed in the app menu, instead of video/playback window? For example, Prime app allows subtitles color, font and background color to be changed during playback, so one can preview exactly how the changes look like and choose the best one based on content. Emby's implementation is of course still miles better than Netflix's horrible and web-based settings for subtitles that are not even available in-app. Still I'm curious why Emby decided on this approach.

ebr 15233 Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Hi. We might put a link to this during playback at some point but there are already so many options available on the OSD that it just starts to get to be overload. Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it makes the difference, I do not think "there are already so many options on the OSD right now" so making subtitles settings available in playback will not be an "overload," for me at least. I know it's just a single vote and one single data point, but maybe you will find other users or team members who think the "Netflix-style" setting sucks, and "Prime-style" setting should be the standard. I haven't tested Apple TV app yet, now I am curious if they are Netflix-style or Prime-style too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 38093 Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 The ability to adjust subtitle background color and background opacity will be in Emby Server 4.7 as well as in upcoming app updates. Thanks. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davey's 13 Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Does this mean - all apps-? When I'm playing a DVD its subs are always yellow in most of the apps I use; LG, Android and RPI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure to read the help text that indicates what subtitle formats it applies to. Your DVD subtitles are image based and have all of the styles already embedded.

bleachjt 1 Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Any ETA on this feature on AppleTV? Some shows are unwatchable because subs are white, no background and a bit too small. Gets worse if it's a show that use a lot of bright colors. If there was any beta version I could sign up for to test this feature, I'd be up for that.
