Any movement on subtitle appearance control?

Looks like there was some discussion a year or so ago, but then silence. Anything that would improve the contrast between the subtitle text and the underlying video will be greatly appreciated. As it is, the subtitles are largely useless. I'd vote for some font size control and some kind of background or major drop shadowing . . .

 

Old eyes are ears will be appreciative.

 

Thanks

Where I use subtitles the  most is on the Samsung Smart TV. I also stream to Roku, but don't use subtitles as  much on  that.

Using our Samsung app?

Yes - the latest Samsung app that fixed the series episode display problem. Also Roku uses the Emby app - I have both the released and beta apps installed.

On the Roku you can use the Roku settings to change the Subtitle appearance.

Tailor to your liking. All your Roku apps (including Emby) will respect your settings here.

Thanks. I'll give it a try, but last time I looked, I didn't see those settings on my Roku sticks.

In case it helps, he's referring to Roku system settings.

You should have some subtitle display settings available in the Samsung app.

Two options for subtitles are offered: Preferred Language and Subtitle Mode.  Server dashboard confirms "Emby Theater 1.0.52" for the Samsung TV.

 

I see nothing that says "display".

Sorry, you are correct, my mistake. We have not yet added these settings to the Samsung app.

Any guesstimates of a time frame?
