Huge Subtitles
Describe the bug No matter the subtitles settings in Jellyfin the subtitles on chromecast are always huge. This makes the usage of subtitles on chromecast practically useless since they are covering a lot of the video. On big TVs it's also not practical to read the huge letters.
To Reproduce
- Login to Jellyfin, e.g. via Web or Android
- Change your preferred subtitles size via profile settings
- Cast a movie with subtitles
- No matter the preferred subtitles size the displayed subtitles are always the same (huge)
Expected behavior
The subtitles settings should be adjustable similarly to jellyfin's web interface. Many movies have a black stripe on the bottom (and top) of the screen which could be used for the subtitles. Depending on the height of the black stripe the user should be allowed to change the size of the subtitles so that they can fit in.
System (please complete the following information):
- OS: Android App 1.0.2
- Browser: Chrome
- Jellyfin Version: 10.6.3
- Cast client: Ultra
I'm using mostly external SRT subs but it's the same with integrated (.mpeg) subs.
Confirmed. Subtitles are huge with Chromecast (ultra) and Android app. Adjusting subtitle size from app does not work. Issue confirmed with external subs, haven't tried with embedded.
Tested with older gen Chromecast and it had the same issue. Sadly this is a show-stopper for me, as a half-deaf foreigner I rely on subtitles but my eyesight is still good, so no need for them to take up 1/3 of the screen :)
yeah the same. the subs are very big and there are spaces between each characters
Can we have an screenshot please?
Yes, the subs are Bulgarian (external .srt file ) the name of the subs are with the same name like the movie.
I stream the movie from my phone via the jellyfin android app, subs settings are :
Jellyfin version is 10.8.0, docker image is linuxserver/jellyfin:2021.11.17, you may find the attached bg subs arcane_e5.zip s
But in the Chromecast client, please
i did not get that, what kinda info is needed? I use the android app - Jellyfin app version 2.4.0 in order to cast the movie from my phone Xiaomi Mi 10

The sending app (or casting to the Android TV app using JF casting) is a completely separate issue

Yes, I cast from my phone to Samsung TV/monitor (T24D390) with Google Chromecast 2.0 device, I don't have this issue with Samsung 40", only with 24"
