    what resolution are you using? Is it 4K (3840x2160), or full hd (1920x1080)? Also, what scale are you normally using 125%, 150% or maybe 175% ? Could you please post a screenshot while playing a video with teletext subtitles using the desired scale? Are the subs already off the (full) screen with 125% ?

    I am on Full HD, 150% I have posted a live TV recorded video sample on page 2 and here is a screen capture and 125% already off have to use 100% to get normal subtitle. BTW subtitle also sometime work sometime not, have to stop the Live TV to go back in to get subtitle.

    I am on Full HD, 150%
    does this setting works (worked) for you with MP1?

    I'm attaching a test version, which should implement the same logic as in MP1 (although I'm not completely sure about this). Could you please give it a try?
    I recently upgraded my machine, I have now a 4K display (Dell XPS 15 :cool:) and my scale is set to 175%. With the attached dll the subtitles are off the screen on my machine. In opposite to the implementation in 2.2.2 which scales not so bad, as you can see on the attached screenshots.

    Not sure what the right logic would look like which would work in every case... @morpheus_xx any thoughts/hints on how we can fix this?

    Just tried, with this dll can't display subtitle at all. I have tried 100, 125, 150, 175% no subtitle.

    I have no problem with MP1 no matter what percentage.

    at least the test result is consistent with mine:D

    understood, so I didn't get it right...

    @Sebastiii
    could you please confirm that in case of using a 125% scale the properties DpiX and DpiY here have the value 120? (I don't have a working MP1 dev setup). Thanks!

    I don't have MP1 anymore and no idea how to check that.
    my request was directed to a MP1 dev ;)

    Could you please test this version? For now please use 150% on full hd and post a screenshot.
    I've did some tests on my old notebook which has a full hd display and I think I found a solution. Additionally, if this will work I think I can also overcome the limitation that the subtitles are currently working only in full screen :)
