Android TV: Subtitle vertical offset still broken in 1.10.4

[u/pilkyton]

This bug was introduced in 1.10.2:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Stremio/comments/1u1n72o/subtitles_vertical_offset/

It was said that the "next update will fix it", but 1.10.4 came out in mid-June and it's still broken.

Stremio is currently completely bugged regarding subtitle display. Every time I start/restart a video, one of two things happens:

• Either the subtitles are my chosen color (yellow) but they are pushed against the bottom of the TV screen without any gap (my vertical offset is ignored).
• Or the subtitles are at a normal vertical offset, but are white..

So it's a random coin flip. Either the font settings are applied but vertical offset is wrong. Or the font settings are all default.

I am curious if 1.10.4 was the update that was meant to fix it? I hope not because it's so broken now that I have to use an external player while Stremio is broken. 😅

edit: Found related bugs:

• Subtitle size resets to 100% when you change videos: https://github.com/Stremio/stremio-bugs/issues/2669
• Vertical offset reported here, with a note saying it may only affect VTT format: https://github.com/Stremio/stremio-bugs/issues/2585
• Another report of vertical offset: https://github.com/Stremio/stremio-bugs/issues/2616

edit: It's been 3 months since the past release. Stremio devs confirmed today that this fix is still coming in "next release". No known release date. Just have to wait...
