Please, make it possible to adjust subtitle position on screen

[geopehl]

I need this functionality really much. I project movies on a 150inch screen and it’s so frustrating subtitles to be displayed outside 2.35:1 picture. This is so important that I’m forced to use Kodi with Plex addon instead of Plex app.

Let us position srt subtitles to bottom of video

Right now Plex displays SRT subtitles to the bottom of the display, rather than the bottom of the video. On a normal display like a tv, subtitles would appear in the black bar in letterbox content, which I personally do not prefer since it involves more eye movement. The biggest issue is if you watch on a 3:2 aspect ratio like a tablet, subtitles appear MUCH lower. A simple solution would be to allow an option to display subtitles on bottom of video instead of bottom of display. I’ve seen some…

Add subtitle position "+14% from the bottom" (2.40:1 projector screen)

Hey plex team. It would be great to add this subtitle position to PLEX players. This would be helpful e.g. in home theaters on the 2.40:1 screens where adjusting the 2.40:1 content to fit the screen (masking black bars at the top and bottom) makes subtitles at the bottom not visible. Subtitles at the center of the screen are a bit annoying Thanks!

Subtitles settings (font, color, offset time, position)

Plex is almost perfect to me except it does not allow user to change subtitles color, font, offset time, etc… like common HD video players else. It’s painful for my myopic eyes to keep watching the thin-white text. Plex did very well the major things such as playback quality, video/audio format, library… but the subtitles is fixed in white (?)… I’m quite shock, especially when I did search “subtitles color” in this forum and found that this issue was mentioned from 2012 but never be solved. I’…

So this is a must want feature from years and still nothing… why Plex team don’t do anything about it?

I can only guess.

1. feature suggestions are just that… suggestions – no mandatory development order
2. while there’s 3 suggestions touching that subject, they haven’t got all that much attention (1, 22 and 36 votes respectively).

I’m not sure that they actually understand how important this feature is for many people where native language is different than English. In many countries we want to watch movies with their original audio and subtitles translated in our language or with engish subtitles. If I watch something on my TV I don’t care that much for subtitle position, but for big screen projection is really important where subtitles are displayed. Also, this is so important for people with disabilities.

You can add your vote to those suggestions and comment there.

I don’t see the point of voting, there are many suggestions that have many votes and comments, some suggestions were brought up many years ago and continue to be voted on and commented on, yet plex does nothing.
