That's an SSA/ASS style, and belongs in the heading section of an SSA or ASS subtitle file.  Emby can't use it in any other context.

To edit SSA subtitles you can use Aegisub or Subtitle Edit.

What about using css styles that mimic the styles I provided? Is there an option to customize the css for the subtitle?

@pwhodges

[pwhodges 2012]

The CSS options is for the web interface; the video player is a single unit in that interface and handles the subtitles itself, without any CSS involvement.

@pwhodges Not true, you can customize how the style will look through the control panel in the translation section, font size and shadow.. but the options are limited, I think I can add more styles

[pwhodges 2012]

Minimal formatting is available for SRT subtitles in most players, but that is not CSS.

@abdullah339what he's saying about ass/ssa subtitles is right. Does that answer your question?

[abdullah339 2]

What I want to know is the CSS class for the sutbtitle format so that I can customize the shadow, colors and borders. @pwhodges@Luke

For ass/ssa format subtitles there is no such thing because it’s all rendered on a canvas.

I will not use ass/ssa in css @Luke

I will use css to customize the sutbtitle style

I want the subtitle display class so I can add automatic css customization to it

OK the best thing to do is play some srt subtitles in the web browser and then use the browser debugger to examine the elements. This will allow you see the element structure and class names.
