Webvtt Subtitles positioning

Postby SubtitleNoob » 27 Jul 2020 06:56

Why is VLC not displaying subtitles position as expected?

Expected behaviour:
align:start -> Text should be on the left
align:end -> Text should be on the right

Actual:
align:start but text is on the right
Image

align:end but text is on the left
Image

Webvtt file:
WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.0000 --> 00:00:00.0000 line:476 position:13.12 align:middle
Test

2
00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:17.000 line:0% position:0% align:middle
line:0% position:0% align:middle

3
00:00:20.200 --> 00:00:24.000 line:0% position:0% align:start
line:0% position:0% align:start

4
00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:26.000 line:0% position:0% align:end
line:0% position:0% align:end

weird, that should not happen unless vertical is set to "rl"

Exactly, this is so strange, i did not set any vertical setting.

Is anything wrong with the way I format in the .vtt file?
