AekaGSR 1 Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Hello, I've recently noticed that when I play a subtitled movie with Emby Theater the positioning is outside of the movie field and is placed in the black bars. This wasn't how Emby behaved before. How do I get the subtitles back into the framing of the picture? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37272 Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 What version of Emby Theater? @ do you know if mpv has any configuration for this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Yeah, try --sub-pos=90 or a lower number Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37272 Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Yeah, try --sub-pos=90 or a lower number Is that a fixed position though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Is that a fixed position though? Yes. Are you wanting them to reposition, dynamically? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AekaGSR 1 Posted July 19, 2019 Author Share Posted July 19, 2019 (edited) Windows 3.0.8 Is this a command line argument? It doesn't seem to change placement. Edited July 19, 2019 by AekaGSR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 3.0.8 Is this a command line argument? It doesn't seem to change placement. You have to make an mpv.conf and add the line sub-pos=90 You can follow this to make it https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/50975-how-to-enable-mpv-logging-for-theater/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37272 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Yeah, try --sub-pos=90 or a lower number i guess i mean what is that relative to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 i guess i mean what is that relative to? 90 is the vertical position. You can use 0-100, where 0 is the top of the window and 100 is the bottom. I use 90. This will affect ASS subs, too. https://mpv.io/manual/master/#options-sub-pos You can also use --sub-margin-x or -y https://mpv.io/manual/master/#options-sub-margin-x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raymondjpg 9 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 My guess, the movie has been encoded with the black bars included in the vertical dimension. MediaInfo will tell you. I see this also with an external player. If the black bars have been included in the encode then subtitles can be positioned in the bottom black bar, or with two lines, one in the movie and the second in the black bar. Drives me crazy, but I've learned to live with it. Most video material I've come across doesn't include the black bars in the video resolution, so repositioning of subtitles for those that do means that the position of subtitles for those that don't will be too high. I guess it's up to how much material you have that needs this repositioning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 I'll have to see how mpv handles that. I don't think the padding makes a difference, but I'll check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 (edited) --sub-pos=90 --sub-pos=100 And --sub-pos=90 when there is no padding. (This is in a window. When scaled to full screen, padding is added and subs are positioned as the first picture) Edited July 20, 2019 by Doofus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AekaGSR 1 Posted July 21, 2019 Author Share Posted July 21, 2019 Cool, thank you! I run a projector and its annoying when the subs drop out of the screen, haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
