My idea was: the subtitles to be centered , but the alignment of the sentences etc. to be left aligned (paragraph).

try switching xysubfilter to "always load" in the loading section of xysubfilter's options - this helped my as i was having problems of subs not always loading. (i'm using the same setup as you)

I'm going nuts with this and trying to understand what I'm doing wrong. Using aegisub to format my ass file. I center it bottom middle and then raise things up like 40 pixels or whatever. Looks good in the editor. Apply it to all subtitles. When I run it thru avisynth its always puts the subs at the very bottom of the video. Doesn't xy-vsfilter honor settings in ass files?

Thanks.

can you share an example?

avisynth script and the ass.


and don't forget to add the fonts to the system fonts.

Sure thing. Funny part is, even though I chop off 20 pixels of black bars on the top and bottom of the video after the subs are burned in, still goes to the bottom. Either some overscan on my Panasonic Plasma or something else is going on. Figure if I don't change the video width but reduce the height it would show more on the screen vertically not less. Anway, guessing as I'm using Arial adding fonts won't be an issue but here you go:

AVS file is very simple:

avisource("district.avi")
TextSub("district_Subtitles.ass")

ass file looks like this. Unless you want all 211 subs cut it after a few:

Note the 100 on the MarginV was 60 last time. Trying to crank it up a bit and see if it still shows on the bottom.

can you please first check if the possion on of the subs is correct when the file is played on your PC?

how about this you no release it XySubFilter Test 3.1.0.741

[Tornado15550]

With Google Code going read-only on the 25th of this month, will you be transitioning the project to Github or some other repository?

hello, are you gonna release a new beta version with the latest changes after the previous one?

Pardon my ignorance but could somebody explain to me the high resolution rendering of xySubFilter as opposed to what xyVSFilter does? I am using xyVSFilter in order to have subs rendered on black bars in Kodi (DSPlayer version) while using madVR, I set "Renderer layout option" to 1920x1080 and I see text based subs (ie. SRT) rendered at native res. What am I missing?

[vivan]

If you're watching 1080p video on 1080p screen then subs will be rendered at native resolution (except chroma, which will be 4:2:0 as video). However when video resolution is lower than screen resolution (i.e. DVD), then, when using xyVSFilter you'll get subs rendered at low resolution which will look bad.

Renderer layout option only affects styles scaling. E.g. if you choose font size of 50 pixels - then it will be 60 pixels on 1920x1080 video, but 40 on 1280x720. For unstyled subs (SRT) using this option is a good idea (hope it will become default for them in future), except when videos have different aspect ratio. But with styled subtitles (ASS) it could have unpleasant effects.

[ashlar42]

Are developers still working on xySubFilter? madshi would apparently be ready to work on black bars rendering for subs but there doesn't seem to be anyone working on xySubFilter

[madshi]

There ever only was one dev, and from the looks of it, he might be gone. I've emailed him. If he doesn't show up, maybe I can hack something in to work around the missing features. No promises, though.

[ashlar42]

Much appreciation flowing in your direction, madshi, even with no promises.

And by the way, if this project has been abandoned by its dev... am I right in understanding that there currently is not another actively developed subs filter?

[vivan]

There's also a libass, but it's one of the reasons why people are LOLing at VLC. Like the last time I used it it either corruped entire video or crashed because typesetting was too heavy.

[ashlar42]

Yeah... well, at least, all this being open source, one can always hope that somebody capable enough will keep the candle lit.

[madshi]

New build uploaded by cyberbeing (see first post in this thread) - thanks!

I'm using XySubfilter 3.1.0.705 (git caded62), what's last version? 3.1.0.744 (git 50985e9)?

[Matching_Mole]

Hi,

Is it a key shortcut to load external sub files with XySubFilter as we can with MPC-HC (CTRL+L)? And if not, could this be implemented?

I use it all the time in MPC-HC to add subtitles to my Blu-ray on the fly (because they dont have one in my language, or because the muxed one are too large and too present on the screen). Now that madVr is able to use black border with XySubFilter, this is last piece that is missing for me to definitively outperform the internal sub rendrer of MPC.
