Subtitles for Anime [Multiple subitle lines]

[Globalmart]

Good afternoon,

When watching Anime the embedded subtitles will often show 2 lines at once. One at normal position and one beneath(or both vertically centered). Sometimes they even have Colored text tot indicate who's speaking.

Right now this isn't working as expected. The first line (upper) is overruled by the second(down/bottom). So when two lines are supposed to be shown at once they fight for dominance and the first one often gets skipped.

A good way to check this is to watch a test Anime episode, preferably with multiple characters speaking at once, on VHT and on MPC(for example) to see what i mean.

Thanks for reporting this issue.

I'll check it.

It is not a bug but just the basic VHT support for this subtitle format.

I see that this subtitle format is popular in anime fansubbing.

The issue will be solved with the next update.

The next update will have full support for SubStation Alpha (SSA/ASS) V4+ subtitles format.

Thanks for checking and adding support. Looking forward to it!

The next VHT version v1.19.1 is ready in beta branch.

It has full support for SubStation Alpha (SSA/ASS) V4+ subtitles format.

Please check it and give a feedback if your (SSA/ASS) subtitles are working now.

This update is scheduled to be released next week.
