Resizing Vobsub (idx/sub) subtitles?

Post by DrDDT »

Hi!

Great to have the forum back! I have a question:


Is it somehow possible to resize vobsubs?
On my tv, they are a bit too big and too far to the right.

Things I checked:
- video calibration is correct
- I found some articles from 2005 on xbmc.org that it used to be possible, but was removed.
- since they are positioned bitmaps they should be the correct size, and corrected for the movie size, should be on the correct position. Somehow it's not quite right in my case.

Thanks!

Maybe someone can point me out where to put the code mentioned in this thread:

http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?ti ... sub+resize
i modify XBoxRenderer.cpp so it can enlagre vobsub and Mplyaer RAW Font

Code: Select all

float EnlargeFactor = (float)(g_settings.m_ResInfo[res].iWidth / 720.0f) * 1.35f; //g_guiSettings.GetInt("Subtitles.EnlargePercentage") / 100.0f;

Anyone?

This is seriously hurting the WAF, since some text is outside of my screen on the right.
A general hint to where to change this (in the code) will help me, I still have my development environment active, so I can try to fix it myself.

Hi. Sorry to post in an old thread but I have the same question. My subtitles are displayed in a big font which covers the screen and runs to the right and off the screen when I use DVDplayer. However, mplayer displays subtitles bottom center in a readable smaller font. The subtitles settings does not appear to affect either mplayer or dvdplayer. I am using xbmc4xbox 3.2 btw. Thanks.
