General infomration

Prerequisites

• [x] Are you running the latest version? Yes, 0.13.22

Description

Subtitles look weird when there are two lines of subtitles. First line looks great, but the second line (which should be positioned under the first line) is positioned above first line, around center of the screen. When there is only one line of the subtitle, the position is okay and everything looks perfect. I did calibration and subtitle position is set to fixed.

At first I thought this is the OSMC issue, but then I installed HBOGo Addon which shows subtitles normally.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Play any video with subtitles

Expected behavior: Second line of the subtitles positioned under the first line

Actual behavior: Second line of the subtitles positioned above the first line

Context (Environment)

Netflix addon on a RPi 3B

Installation

• [ ] I´m using the Netflix Repo
• [ ] I´m using a different source (Please tell which)

Operating System

• [ ] Linux (x86/x64)

try Calibrating your display and setting a valid

can u elaborate on this statement "try Calibrating your display and setting a valid"?

Is there any progress on this issue? I still got the same problem. I have to add that the subtitles in other languages are perfectly aligned. German and French is working perfectly!

i've tried everything, and i found out that the only way to solve this is to change resolution in Kodi. So, if u go to the system settings of Kodi, change resolution to 1080p. Anything less than 1080p will screw up your subtitles.

[WalterMosch]

Hmmm, thanks for the tip. But doesn't work for me. If I change to 1080p the second line of the subtitles is over the first line. So I can't read anything. Eijeijei....

that's odd. worked for me... Also worth to mention that my TV is HD ready and not full HD. One more thing u can check is "set GUI resolution limit"... if it's not set to Auto, do it, i also noticed it's effecting subtitles if it's set to 720p or less. So basically, with the settings u see on my screenshoot, u should be good (i hope).

[WalterMosch]

On my Raspberry it worked;) Hurray! But unfortunately I did an update for widevine. And now the audio is out of sync. I don't know. Sometimes it's hard not to buy just a smart TV. But thanks a lot anyway. I wouldn't have come to this solution.

Workaround suggested does not work for me. I have the GUI resolution set to auto. But the screen I'm using (dated sinotec lcd tv) can't set the resolution to 1080p. Highest I can set is 1280x1024 :( Any other suggestions?

I have a HD Ready display and the exact same problem.

Same problem here. HD ready tv. Kodi not allowing me to set resolution greater than 720p

Same issue here. I have a HD TV, resolution is set to 1080p, and the second line of the subtitles is consistently on top of the first line. Very confusing. Anybody else have any suggestions?
