Yes I have. The ATV subs are set as white, normal size, with a 50% black highlite. The ATV settings sample screen shows what I see on Netlix and Prime, but inFuse shows no highlite backing color.
While playing a video, swipe down to bring up the info tab and the go to the subtitle tab.
Select a subtitle.
Then there should be a bunch of options to control the display of the subtitle.
I don’t use subtitles very often so I don’t know if changed settings only apply to that specific video, or if it becomes the default for subsequent videos.
Thanks for your help. I hardly ever needed to look at the swipe down, maybe only if the default subs were not synced typically. Great to see there’s a delay available as well.
Here’s a follow up - I just loaded a MKV video file with embedded subs to our media server, started playing it on the ATV, and the subs were shown, but unlike other videos I’ve played, not formatted at all.
Looking at the swipe down it shows English subs selected, but there are no styling options shown. Went for … more and loaded an Opensubs SRT, closed the swipe down, re-opened it and the styling settings are there, and the subs are then displayed “as required”.
I’m sure this is why I was having styling problems before, seems some video files’ embedded subs are giving a problem.
Tried playing the same video on my iPad inFuse as well, and see exactly the same problem.
The most likely reason is because the embedded subtitles are “pre-rendered closed subtitles” which are encoded as images rather than text … in this case all the player can do is display the image.
