Make subtitle size relative to window size

[David Prieto]

Binary package hint: totem

I have noticed that the size of subtitles varies depending on the size of the video. The larger a video's resolution, the smaller the subtitles appear.

I'm attaching a screenshot showing two videos in totem, the first being 1280x720, the second 720x352. As you can see, the subtitles look much smaller in the first, even though both windows have the same size.

Please change this behaviour so that subtitles look bigger or smaller according to how big the window is, not the video's original resolution.

Hi David, what version of Totem are you using?

[David Prieto (frandavid100-gmail)]

Latest one in jaunty, 2.26.0-0ubuntu2

The tracked bug report was last updated sometime in 2005. I'd really like Totem to support this, as it is annoying having to change the text size depending on whether I'm watching a SD or HD movie.

The only way to help the bug to be fixed is providing a patch for it, I'm sure we'd be glad to receive one.

Is this still an issue for you in Lucid

[Mikael B (mikaelbje)]

No, I just tested two clips, one in 720p and the other in SD and it looks to me that it's been fixed. Good work to whoever fixed this, and also to the rest of you!

Marking this fixed then :) feel free to report any other bugs you may find.
