1.37 DefaultWideHD - Reloaded (6 Viewers)

As far as I remember you can adjust the position of the subtitles somewhere in the settings - but don´t remember where atm
On the other hand, the OSD disappears after some time (you defined in the settings), and only the pause icon remains in the middle of the screen

I'm talking about subtitles that are build into the video (like foreign language dramas). I don't think I can do anything about where they are displayed.
Am I missing something?

Hope I corrected all - pls test
BTW nice finding

Yep. That's fixed the navigating up and down in dialogs issue.
Thank you very much for that.

Not sure, but can you try this:
In the Settings go to Screen set-up -> Screen calib. :
Press 2 times "Enter" and you see this screen:



Maybe it works?

For programs that already have subtitles, Screen Calib doesn't work.

Talking about the pause bar, where do I find the field that tells you how far you have navigated forwards/back in time? I need to move that field together with the toolbar but I can't find it in videoFullScreen.xml.

I really wonder what you are doing
Just reduce the OnScreen display timeout (in settings, as I already mentioned above) to maybe 1 sec and you are done???

I want to move whole pause progress bar up to the top of the screen, including the skip steps +15, + 30, -15, -30 label. That way I can see the subtitle without any issues and the progress bar will behave exactly as normal.
Changing the OnScreen timeout did not have the affect I wanted. I want the pause bar to remain until I press play or move forward/back by using skip steps.

common.play.xml

That did the job. Now we can see subtitles when paused without any issues. Thank you for your help.

I've attached a picture of what I had in mind for the pause bar demonstrating how it works with embedded subtitles.
I've inverted the Video_Tab_OSD_Pause.png image because I thought it looked a bit odd when at the top of the screen. I have flipped the program name and progress bar.
I have moved the skip step to the right of the remaining time field, above the current time; tricky to capture that happening though.
By doing that, I have been able to reduce the real estate taken up by the pause bar.
I hope this demonstrates why I wanted to make this change for my system. It's always easier to understand when you can see it.
