mpv's default sub-ass-override, `scale`, hands an ASS track sub-scale,
and sub-pos reaches it under every mode but `no`. So with "Restyle
styled subtitles" off, the subtitle size and position settings still
resized and moved typeset dialogue and signs.
The override is now `yes` when restyling is off, which keeps sub-scale
off ASS. A styled track also ignores the style's position, and moves
only to stay clear of the player's controls. A frame from an ASS track
rendered with every other option changed now matches the untouched one
pixel for pixel. Plain (SRT) tracks still take the whole style.
The subtitle style was three fixed choices. It is now size, position,
font, bold and italic, free colours with opacity for the text, outline,
box and shadow, outline thickness, shadow distance and blur, and an
opt-in "Restyle styled subtitles" that repaints ASS dialogue too
(sub-ass-override=force). The defaults are mpv's own, so a viewer who
never opens the section sees no change.
Settings has a section of its own with a sample line drawn on a bright
and a dark picture. Every change also reaches the playing file at once,
and is written when the mouse is let go rather than once per frame of a
drag. The player's subtitle menu has size, position and a per-file
delay; Z and X shift subtitles by 0.1 s, as in mpv.
Every option is sent every time, so a change back to a default lands on
a live player. A refused sub-border-style still skips the border options
that depend on it, so an older libmpv loses the box rather than drawing
a smear.
Plain-text subtitles (SRT) were drawn in mpv's bare default, thin white
text that bright scenes swallow. Settings → Playback now picks a size,
an outline or a dark box, and white or yellow text. Styled (ASS) tracks
keep their own look and take only the size.
The box options are mpv 0.38's, so they are set best effort: an older
libmpv logs and plays on. The style syncs with the other playback
settings, and the Android bridge keeps the stored style instead of
resetting it on save.
The README still described an early, public-links-only app. It now
shows the desktop and Android apps, lists what each release ships per
platform, covers sign-in, Drive folders, sync, downloads, Android TV and
dialogue-first subtitles, and points at the wiki for the details.
docs/ gains pages for people using the app rather than building it:
getting started, installation, the user guide, account and sync,
Android and iOS, the command line, privacy, an FAQ and troubleshooting.
docs/README.md is the wiki's home page.
scripts/publish-wiki.sh, ported from proton-drive-linux, checks every
link in docs/ and README.md, rewrites links between pages to wiki page
names and copies the images they show. The Wiki workflow runs the check
on pull requests and publishes on every push to main.
images/ holds library, title and episode screenshots from the desktop
and Android apps, and the logo.
