I believe that plex is built on ffmpeg right? If not the rest of this might not apply perfectly but i'll go ahead and explain. anime is subtitled with soft subs in .ass format. Most of the time, this includes complex "typesetting" to translate text on screen. these are done with xy-vsfilter on …

Oh no.. look at me necroing two post... Bah better then making new ones. Imgur mirror for 'when it should look like this (textsub through xy-vsfilter)' imgur mirror for the original Looks like the one that actually matters is lost.. hilariously enough.. I can try to get another set of exampl…

I made new examples Example of error Example of what it looks like with PHT direct play Example of what it looks like on MPC-HC Sorry I don't have a picture of what it looks like through the filter...as I don't know how to do that. edit: another example of the error Example of what it should…

Randomacts, I will work on getting an example back up. Need to get the original into a plex directory again. If you are using MPC-HC or MPC-BE or kawaii codec pack or k-lite then you are already using xy-vsfilter. I just re-read my original post and i dont know what i was thinking. This …

Yeah.. it really is awful... At least for Direct Play it works fine. But we can't always have direct play... Does crunchyroll the only real legal option for subbed anime even do subs like my examples correctly?

Ummm with crunchyroll, problems like these arent going to be an issue because they dont bother to make it look nice. No “legal” options are going to look as good as a fansub. You might try air video HD if you are on an ios device. It’s libass implementation is much much better. But still not per…

I didn't know I never bothered to check crunchyroll.. I went right to fansubs =p I am not on iOS... My devices are Windows 8.1 computer , nexus 5, chromecast , my brother has a windows 8.1 laptop (however it is too weak to direct play =p) and a windows 8.1 desktop.

i wouldn't be a fan of using xy-vsfilter as a real permanent solution due to the windows-only thing (though an option for windows users as a temporary solution would be welcomed). an option for libass to fully render the subtitles (with, of course, a warning that it would be massively CPU-intensive…

It would be real nice to use my anime even if it is trasncoded... right now really only direct play is useable.
