Subtitle colour in 3.0.8

[AdrianW 1058]

I see that there are new subtitle options - BUT these are overriding any manually set colours in my mpv.conf file (in %Appdata%/mpv/mpv.conf).

 

Is there a way to NOT use the ET colours and use the ones I have defined? Or can we have an option in the settings for "default" which would fall back to using those in mpv.conf.

 

Is there anything I can manually edit to remove the ET set options or to alter the ET colour values?

 

These are the settings I was using:

sub-font="Arial Bold"
sub-font-size=40
sub-color="#FFFFFFB3"
sub-border-color="#FF262626"
sub-border-size=1
sub-shadow-offset=2
sub-shadow-color="#A0000000"
sub-spacing=0.5

The main issue now is that the ET "yellow" is just far too yellow.

Yet another argument for a general disabling option for all settings in Theater. For those of us who like to use an mpv.conf, there should be a way to disable every/any setting/option in Theater.

Yes we can certainly expand on these options.

Yes we can certainly expand on these options.

 

That's good - but is there anything that can be done right now? (manually editing some file or other).

 

Where is ET storing the new subtitle settings? Or, where is the definition for yellow so I can edit it?

 

I have a very unhappy wife (again) - she wants to know "why do they keep breaking things?, they shouldn't be allowed to mess with it."

 It would be a good idea if the colours and their values used by the subtitle settings screen were held in a text file somewhere, so users could edit or add to them.

A work-around for now:

• Totally uninstall ET (deleting all config and settings etc).
• Reinstall
• Reconfigure settings BUT avoid the subtitles page like the plague

You'll then get subtitles as configured in your mpv.conf file.

@@Luke - because of the recent black screen issue, I had to re-configure ET again and I accidentally went to the subtitle settings page (I'd forgotten my own advice - above).

 

Can you tell me where ET stores the subtitle settings - so I can delete them? (reasons in the first post above)

You don't be able to get to the individual setting storage. You'd have to just do it again.

OK
