Mpv: Changing font on this video's subtitles

[2V3EvG4LMJFdRe]

mpv version and platform

mpv-x86_64-20180610-git-4d2b865 / Windows 8

Reproduction steps

Play the video, and use the following method for forcing subtitle style change, via input.conf:

Ctrl+1 no-osd cycle_values sub-font "Helvetica" "Helvetica" "Helvetica"; no-osd cycle_values sub-border-size "2" "1" "0"; no-osd cycle_values sub-color "#dadada" "#dadada" "#dadada"; no-osd cycle_values sub-shadow-color "0.0/0.0/0.0/0.0" "0.0/0.0/0.0/0.0" "0.0/0.0/0.0/1"; no-osd cycle_values sub-shadow-offset "0" "0" "3"; no-osd cycle_values osd-font "Helvetica" "Helvetica" "Helvetica"; no-osd cycle_values osd-color "#dadada" "#dadada" "#dadada"; no-osd cycle_values osd-shadow-color "0.0/0.0/0.0/0.0" "0.0/0.0/0.0/0.0" "0.0/0.0/0.0/1"; no-osd cycle_values osd-border-size "2" "1" "0"; no-osd cycle_values osd-shadow-offset "0" "0" "3"; no-osd cycle_values sub-ass-style-override "force" "force" "force"

Expected behavior

Changes subtitle font.

Actual behavior

Keeps font embedded with video (yet all other parameters do change).

Only ever happened with this video out of hundreds I've tried. Wondering why that is, and if there's any hope the style could be forced into whatever this video uses for that subtitle, someday.

That file hardcodes the font with an \fn tag every single line. This is a duplicate of #5547.

You can use --sub-ass-override=strip to get rid of those and force your font, but that will break typesetting and even stuff like italics. AFAIK mpv doesn't have a way to strip only font tags.

JFC, why would anyone do that... thanks. I'm gonna leave it open just in case "stripping only the font" is considered a valid request.

Yeah, I would want that, I'm the creator of #5547 though, it might surprise you but this kind of stupid ass is rather common...

should should be brought up to libass.
