MediaPlayer Subtitles font size (easy)

Description

  • It would be nice if there was a way to choose the size/style/family of the font used for the subtitles. Specially the size, as the current options (even "Large") are all too small, at least for a 1920x1080 24" Monitor (when used as a TV, ie: some meters away from the screen).
  • Also, support for text encodings others than UTF-8 would be nice, as plenty of subtitle websites use Latin-1 as the default encoding.

(I'm using x86_gcc2 hrev47322)

Summary: MediaPlayer SubtitlesMediaPlayer Subtitles font size (easy)

Different encodings are now supported (and automaticall detected - see hrev51192). Leaving the issue open for the custom/larger font size.

I am new to Haiku and I want to take this issue up as a part of my Summer Outreachy'19 application.

Currently there are options for the subtitle size to be Small, Medium or Large. I am planning to change the current BOptionPopUp to have integer font sizes instead of the current ones and change the font size of the subtitle accordingly.

May I suggest to make it similar to how fonts are set in the Appearance prefs, i.e. font family/style in in a pop-up menu and the size with a BSpinner?

Yes sure. I'll look into it.

The support for text encodings others than UTF-8 looks covered by hrev57810, or not?

hrev51192, in fact. The latter one just improves the chances to guess it right.
