Same here... tested everything. I can change the OSD rendering, but not the subtitles - in some video-types.

As much as I understand these affects videos with plenty of subtitle languages (chinese, russian, ...) and therefore includes information about how to render the subtitle in the file... no way to bypass this settings?

Thanks for any help!!

Bruno

... googled deeper and understand now, that some subs are encrypted or let's say only image-saved. So you have to use a sub-ripper like SubRip to create subs VLC can handle... there's no way around this since you will have to help the ripper with his OCR ...

Some settings take place after Stop/Play, some after program restart.

With srt everything works on my side...
