Access and change video calibration parameters from python?
#1
Question 
Hi,
I would like to know if it is possible to alter video calibration parameters from a python script.
Specifically I would like to know if there's a way to change the subtitle position based on the aspect ratio of the playing video. I would like to position the subtitles relative to the bottom of the video frame rather than relative to the screen (so that the subtitle is always within the video frame)

Is there a way to do this from python (by modifying the guisettings perhaps) or is this only possible by modifying the XBMC source?

Thanks in advance,
Mikael

I think it can't be done in Python.

Have a look at this thread where someone has created a patch to shift the video image up to give more area to subtitles:http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=80582.

I suspected that.
Anyway, thanks for your answer and for the pointer to the video thread.
I'll have a look at that thread.
