Serviio

Serviio is really useful as DNLA server, offering many feature as viewing subtitles on TV

my question is: is it possible to add a feature to manage subtitles size, font ?


Thank you in advance

I'm not certain that Serviio can control that. To my knowledge, this is a function of the player, and the serving device simply sends to captions to be rendered by the player. You might see if your player has some options for captions. Most TVs do, but I can't be sure about Blu-Ray players or other network streaming devices.

Thank you for you answer

In my case Serviio play Subtitles, this is a feature that allows me to play sub on tv in dnla mode, however my player says that "there is no subtitles"

What do you think about it ?

If you player says there are no subtitles, there are two possible reasons: one is that the file doesn't contain captions (obvious, I know ), or the file is being transcoded, which strips out the captions unless you have burned in captioning enabled in the Serviio console.

What is your TV, and what provide is Serviio applying to it?

If you are using Serviio to burn-in subtitles (which sounds like it may be the case) then the next release (1.7) will give you the option to set your preferred font, text size and text colour.

If you are not burning them in (playing them natively) then it's up to your TV to render the sub-titles. Your TV may or may not have options to change the text size.

Another option is (if supported by your TV) to use SSA/ASS Subtitles (.ass files) which are a different type of subtitle format that can contain tags which change the font size (and tags that do a whole lot of other things). Your TV must support this type of subtitle (and not too many do, particularly not the older ones).
