Changing the default OSD position

Postby Anjow » 27 Dec 2009 23:19

I'm using VLC 1.0.3 32bit Intel on my iMac 24" running 10.6.2.

When I start full screen mode, the OSD always appears in the middle horizontally, but about 1/4 of the way up vertically. This irritates me, because it means every time I watch something I have to move it down to the bottom, where I want it to be. I've tried to set the position in the OSD menu advanced settings to 'bottom', but it does nothing. Neither does changing the X/Y coords. Are these the wrong settings? Is there a way to make it so that the OSD will always appear at the bottom of the screen, and not 1/4 of the way up?

Thanks.

It seems OSD position isn't the only thing it won't remember. Every time I launch it, I open preferences and set my preferred subtitles language to "English". Every time I open it, the setting has been forgotten and the box is blank again.

I have tried using cleanapp to remove it entirely, downloading a fresh copy of 1.0.3, and running it again to no avail.

It's been 3 years and I still haven't figured out the answer to this issue. Any insight?

Anybody an update? This really sucks, because you have to move the damn OSD to the bottom manually every time you open VLC.

This cannot be that difficult to set by default.

System:
Mac OS X (latest)
