Subtitle setting

Hi There,
Happy with the serviio performance, this is the only media server i found by which i can get subtitle on my tv through LAN. what i need is to have subtitle setting where i can increase the size of the subtitle text (VLC has many settings). in my TV subtitle appear small. can this be implemented as a enhancement please? keep it simple as it is now. just font setting on subtitle tab :)

PS: i am using sony BDV E-490 Home theater to access the serviio server. there is no setting for subtitle in the bluray player.

Re: Subtitle setting

Nice to see that SSA/ASS subtitles are supported, but that's not the solution. I can't be converting each SRT subtitle file I have just because Serviio is unable to set the subtitle size.

A font-size option is essential and urgently required. And I mean size, not font, color, alignment or other useless crap. SRT is the most popular subtitle format, so it must be taken into consideration. Subtitles now are extremely small. Simply add a small drop-down box with options Small, Medium, Large and Huge to the server configuration, and Serviio will be automatically taken to the next level. 8-)

Remember, only in a few countries english is spoken as native language, and you are not taking advantage of the benefits of proper internationalization support.

Re: Subtitle setting

FFmpeg doesn't support it (yet?), so nothing I can do.

According to http://www.universalmediaserver.com/for ... 554#p15012, FFmpeg now permits to specify the font size of the subtitles by option force_style:
  Code:
ffmpeg -i movie.avi -vf "subtitles=movie.srt:force_style='FontName=Arial,FontSize=22'" out.avi

Take a look at FFmpeg documentation here: http://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-all.html#subtitles-1
In fact, I found that already exists a ticket from Zip to add this feature in Serviio: https://bitbucket.org/xnejp03/serviio/i ... text-based
Any ETA on that? it will be awesome to have this feature. :D
Thanks in advance.
P.S. Serviio is great!
