subtitles preferences doesn't work

Postby Paragonidae » 13 Apr 2011 11:56

Hello there.
I am a devoted user of VLC but lately (as in recent versions) I am no longer able to set the subtitles preferences except for their color. I can no longer enjoy the relative size or their position nor the font effect (background/outline).
any ideas?
I'm using the version 1.1.9 on OSX 10.6.6

Try deleting the preferences just in case.
Providing logs, messages, configuration info (VLC, OS, Hardware) and a clear explanation of the issue always helps the problem solvers help you, even if they don't end up solving the issue. Just think what you would need if you were solving someone else's problem. Additional: Always looking for eager and capable MacOS X developers to join the VLC team - for more information see here.

Was this for all video formats? Also were the subtitles embedded?

Bug in the subtitle renderer included in VLC's 64bit versions. Works okay with 32bit builds. Sorry about that.
