Hi!

Is there any way to make mplayer to show the subtitles on the black part under the actual movie? When trying to adjust from the options menu, I only can move it within the movie borders. But what I want is to put it below...

I don't use subtitles but I would think it has to be within the film frame... I don't think Mplayer can determine that...

well don't know if it helps now but yes it is posible by using sdl video output... you can do it by running mplayer -vo sdl

after that you can move subtitles up and down with keys r and t

I tried -vo sdl and got an error saying:

X connection to localhost:10.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown)

I use mplayer remote on my debian pc I also have installed as wireless router and file server (this way I can watch videos on my desktop screen when I'm in my couch surfing the net on my laptop)
What I normally use is (in an ssh connection):
mplayer somefile.avi -sub somefile.srt -display :0

this works perfect, now I tried:
mplayer somefile.avi -sub somefile.srt -display :0 -vo sdl
and I get the above error message, I would love to get this working to get the subs lower on a widescreen movie (my display is not widescreen). I would also love to get them smaller, but maybe I should ask that somewhere else.

TIA

update about subtitle size:
mplayer -subfont-text-scale 3 file
did the trick

Still looking for a way to get my subs lower...
