Grey-colored subtitles

Hello,

Once I play the video, the subtitle shows grey-color, not the default ( white )




this happen after I installed the update Version 17.2.5 Mega

and I don't know the issue

Look at:
Menu > Play > Subtitles

If the subtitle track is in PGS or VobSub format, then it means it is an image based format. Text colors in the option do not have any effect in that case.

If it is ASS/SAA format, then it means the subtitle has its own defined styles and colors. To override those styles you can enable the option "Default Style" in the subtitle menu.

thanks your reply,

the issue is not related to style or format, because I know about styles and configuration of it.

I downgrade the Ver 1.7.2 to 1.7.1

and it works fine with me

see -->



I don't know why ver 1.7.2 doesn't work well.

What happens if you change the default color to yellow?

Is this perhaps a HDR video? MPC Video Renderer has recently gotton an option to adjust subtitle brightness. But that should only have effect for HDR passthrough. Not for normal video.

Test if changing the video renderer has any effect.

Same issue, I tried to change all render subtitles and the result is same.

I tried also video render and get same issue

I have no idea what is wrong. Everything is working fine here. Does it happen with all files or just this specific one?

Codec Tweak Tool > Settings > Reset

all files same issue ,

both languages (English and Arabic )

I did the reset but still same issue

Can you copy the filter list?
Menu > Play > Filters

Just to make sure that is correct.

Here you can find several development builds for MPC-HC:
https://github.com/clsid2/mpc-hc/releases/tag/1.9.22.2
Click on "assets" at the bottom to get the download links. Get the ZIP files. Just extract and run to test.
If you can narrow down when the problem started for you, then it is easier for me to find a possible cause.

Filters currently loaded:
 - Default DirectSound Device
 - MPC Video Renderer
 - Audio Switcher
 - LAV Video Decoder (internal)
 - LAV Audio Decoder
 - LAV Splitter Source (internal)

It started in ver 1.7.2 mega


this is the run in test



I tried to change colors in subtitle and see the results below







the changed but still with some dark

I have the exact same issue. The problem started immediately after I installed the latest version of the Codec Pack this afternoon. I also did a reset, but the issue persists.

Does it also happen if you change the video renderer?
Options > Playback > Output > Enhanced Video Renderer (Custom Presenter)

If it only happens with MPC Video Renderer, then press Ctrl+J to display the renderer debug overlay and make a screenshot for me.

I used the default MPC Video Render,

also, I tried the other renders but no result

I see that you have HDR enabled in Windows. Try with that turned off.

The video renderer will turn on HDR automatically when videos need it.

correct, it is related to HDR, I turn off it and the MPC works fine with me,

Thank you, this tip worked and the subtitles now appear as they did before.
