Subtitle backdrop won't go away

Recently have noticed that a grey background spanning the width of the screen is under subtitles.   Its extremely annoying.  There doesn't seem to be a way to disable it that I can find, am I missing something?  It's on pretty much all content, its not coming from the subtitle file, its being added by emby.

No impact on the bar when I change the drop shadow setting, or size setting

Weird, I fired it up again 3 hours later and it was gone.  Maybe some lag on the application of the setting?

There is no option to control the background so it probably depends on what you were playing and how it was playing. So we'd have to look at an example. Thanks.

I've got it doing it again, so lemme take a look.   Its showing up under direct play mode in Chrome on MacOS, but is not showing up in Firefox on the same machine, from the same video content/SRT file, also direct playing.  I think Chrome on windows may not show it either, but I'm out of town atm so I can't check quickly.

Right, it's possible that Chrome on MacOS just doesn't support or allow the technique that we're using to hide the background. We'll have to look into that.

By the way have you tried it on MacOS 11.3?

Thanks.

Yea there's no way to style the native subtitles on MacOS as the browser just doesn't allow it. In the next release we've switched this over to our own rendering and that resolves this.

Good news on the new release. Can we please get an option for this rather than have it hard coded?

Also, is this possible to be overridden by custom CSS, and if yes, what's the CSS selector for it?

Lastly, is there a beta for the new release?

This dark background is making movies unwatchable for me :(

Hi, it will be an option, and beta instructions can be found on our website, if available for your server platform:

its August 2022 and I have the same issue too

I never faced this issue before on Chrome MacOs.

Not a subtitle file issue, from my testing.
