The VideoLAN Forums

Dear forum,

I am new here but have searched the internet for an extension that is to my knowledge not made yet. I am looking for an extension that checks the video file resolution and adapts the subtitles position so that it is displayed in the black bar beneath the screen if needed. I know this can be do e manually. However when switching from video with a different resolution the subtitles are displaced. My question is does any one know of such an extension or is any one capeble of making this. I hope this feature is implemented in an update of VLC

However when switching from video with a different resolution the subtitles are displaced.

Can you provide more details please?

You need to start VLC with croppadd video filter to add black bars. You can write a batch script that would use external tools to calculate paddbottom parameter. There is a script for Linux somewhere on the forum. A VLC Extension Lua script could only calculate the parameter and then open current video in another instance of VLC with appropriate options for you.
