HELLO. COULD IT BE POSSIBLE TO MAKE A NEW FIRMWARE WHICH WILL INCLUDE MORE FONTS FOR EXTERNAL (.srt) SUBTITLES?
FOR EXAMPLE, THE CURRENT SUBTITLE FONT IS A LITTLE BIT TRANSPARENT AND EVEN WHEN “THICK” BORDER IS SELECTED, THE TRANSPARENCY REMAINS THE SAME. I BELIEVE THAT IT WOULD PLEASE MANY FANS OF THIS MODEL TO ADD A FONT LIKE “ARIAL OR VERDANA, BOLD” IN THE SUBTITLES MENU.
ALSO I BELIEVE THAT THE VERTICAL GAP IN A TWO LINE EXTERNAL SUBTITLE IS VERY BIG. IT WOULD BE NICE TO REDUCE THIS VERTICAL GAP WITH A NEW FIRMWARE.
ONE LAST THING. I KNOW THAT WD TV LIVE CAN SUPPORT **bleep** SUBTITLES. ON THE OTHER HAND, AN **bleep** SUB (FOR EXAMPLE, A SOFTCODED **bleep** SUBTITLE IN AN .mkv CONTAINER) MAY CONTAIN NOT ONLY WHITE COLOR SUBS BUT SUBS OF DIFFERENT COLOURS, DIFFERENT POSITIONS FOR SPECIFIC LINES THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE SUBTITLE FILE AND ALSO MANY KARAOKE AND VISUAL EFFECTS. ALL THE ABOVE ARE MOSTLY SEEN IN ANIME VIDEOS. THE CURRENT FIRMWARE VERSION FOR WD TV LIVE DOES NOT SUPPORT THESE EFFECTS, YOU CAN ONLY SEE PLAIN WHITE TEXT AND NOTHING MORE. NOW THAT’S WHAT I CALL A CHALLENGE!
THANKS IN ADVANCE. I REALLY WAIT FOR OTHER PEOPLE’S THOUGHTS ABOUT THIS MATTER.
