Subtitle Issue with 1.4.0

Post by Madoka »

Yes, it's me again, the subtitle whore.

There is a persistant subtitle problem with 1.4.0 with .ass subtitles with .mp4 files. Also happens with 1.3.0 and PMS 1.60. All the subtitles play fine in 1.2.0 and PMS 1.54.

For the following file, I will lose all formatting and UMS will use the Override Styled Subtitles settings. If there is a lot of text on-screen, like during karaoke, I will get a jumble of text on the bottom.

For this file, the font is correct , but the size is huge. Text that used to be one line on the bottom with be several lines long, taking up 50% of the screen. Sometimes, the whole screen will be a wall of text.

Both problems happen on multiple different files, not all form the same source.

Not all is bad. My prior request, that .srt subtitles use the Override Styled Subtitles setting, has been granted. :D
