Emby Xbox text subtitles add a black bar in the app

[QuarkSolution 5]

On Xbox, when you play anything with .srt subtitles, the app shows subtitles, but it also adds a weird black bar on top of which the subtitles are shown.

 

This is an example with H265 video, in MKV container.

 

Here is another example with H264 video in MKV container.

 

When you choose any image format subtitles, like DVDSUB or PGSSUB, the video transcodes (no surprises there), and emby burns the subtitles. This way, Emby App on Xbox plays the video perfectly.

 

Here's an example

@@QuarkSolution, we'll look into this, but we're using the built-in xbox video player and I think that is just how it displays that format of subtitles. Thanks for the feedback.
