Hi,
Is there any way to get subtitles in correct position automatically? when I play a 4:3 video then a 16:9 video I have to change the position every time, very annoying.
For example, VLC or The KMPlayer have the ability to position subtitles correctly and automatically.

Thanks!

in The KMPlayer, subtitle is positioned by using the video resolution and aspect ratio. in XBMC, subtitle is positioned by using the screen resolution and aspect ratio.
if I watch a 4:3 video, by default, subtitle is positioned well, but if I watch a 16:9 video, I have to go to calibration menu to position the subtitle upper to get it on the image and not on the black strip down the video.
sorry for my english, I hope I was enough clear

right, so you don't want subs in the black bars for > 16:9 aspect videos. there's a patch on trac to allow this behaviour.

I'm using Apple TV's Crystalbuntu version so it's already compiled :/

right, then read it as 'it will be possible sometime in the future'.
