Hello Sub,

There are many "flavors" of clients out there and I have tried them all in Linux and Windows. Everyone has their "flavor." For me, I LIKE the Windows NextPVR client...please note that I am not using or referring to the browser GUI.

The Windows NextPVR client is working very well for me. I like its straightforward structure and simplicity for my OTA live TV viewing and recordings. I have no need to use any other server and client. Now; currently I am using NextPVR version 7.0.2.250621 on Windows 10 21H2 build 19044.

Have have NO errors or complications. Therefore, no need to include log files. All is operational.

I have have also completed the NextPVR key mapping to a TV remote using Flirc. That combination is working quite well with the Windows NextPVR client. I even have a key assigned with {CTRL}X to turn on/off Closed Captions (CC). That is working very well too.

As with few other members I need hearing aids but there are times I like to use CC. CC displays ok when it is enabled except the font is a little pixelly even with 40" 1080P TV.
CC is operating well...no errors while operating within the NextPVR Windows clien

Prior to this post I have spent many hours searching, reading the forum(s) & other resources trying to find any subject matter that provides an answer to my questions regarding "control" of CC's "appearance while watching Live TV. I don't have any problems in using it.

What I need to know is how to "control" some fundamental characteristics of CC.

Windows "Ease of Access" & associated CC controls HAVE NO bearing on NextPVR client. Please note that "Teletext" settings in Config.xml has no impact as well. I figured it would not but had to try.

I am in USA.

My questions are: [if...then..else process Smile ]

1st...the most important question...is it possible?
If it is not, then the remaining questions then thank you for providing an answer.

If so, could you direct me to as how & where....

Change the font size, color, type?
Change background color?
Change transparency?

Change Location on TV screen? ....i.e:
--Upper center, left, right
--Middle center, left, right
--Bottom center, left, right.

Sub, if can provide any insight, I would greatly appreciate it.

Unfortunately, for Closed Captions in NextPVR we don't have any control over the side, colors, location etc.

We're using the Microsoft supplied 'Line 21 Decoder' for rendering the CCs and we have very little control over it. We just take the bitmaps it produces and overlay them on the video.

Thank you very much for your quick response to my inquiry!! At least now I know what is happening & will continue as is. I am thankful that you all had taken the time and programming to capture bitmaps of the CC and include/overlay it on the video!

The NextPVR Windows client is now and will be for a long time my "flavor of choice." Thank you for making and providing a good straightforward GUI client and having as part of the NextPVR Windows system.
