Background when casting embedded subtitles


Recommended Posts

When casting movies to Chromecast, the following steps are shown:

1) fanart picture is displayed by Chromecast;

2) fanart picture is dismissed

3) film logo is displayed on top left and film cover is displayed on bottom right.

4) actual film is displayed

5) film logo and cover are dismissed

 

When casting movies (mkvs) with embedded subtitles (srt) what occurs is:

1) fanart picture is displayed by Chromecast;

2) actual film is displayed

3) playing continues keeping fanart picture on upper and bottom where movie has no image to show. 

 

So, movie is exhibited over the fanart

that's really quite strange. Is this consistent and repeatable? what model chromecast?

This is Chromecast 3.

It happens with all movies and series I tried. Only when embedded srt subtitles are selected.
Same movie with external srt file subtitles selection plays just fine.

You see, I rarely use embedded subtitles so I came into this by chance.

 

Made some additional tests and this occurs on any movie with different aspect ratio from the display.

 

I must also say that embedded subtitles are not being displayed.

Sorry, @@Luke, changed all my rig. There is no Chromecast to report this issue properly.

Ok, I ended up just taking the background out anyway.
