I'm using System.Windows.Media.MediaPlayer to play videos in a WPF window and apparently when there is a .srt file in the same folder as the the movie that the program loads in the MediaPlayer, it also displays the subtitle.
I was very happy to see that because that means that I don't have to write code to load the subtitle and display it to the screen, but I still want to have control over the subtitle.
I want to control the position of the subtitle on the screen, I want to control the font/font size/the color of the text and to deactivate the subtitle if the user does not need it. How do I do that ?
I use the next code to play the movie in the WPF window:
VideoDrawing aVideoDrawing = new VideoDrawing();
aVideoDrawing.Rect = new Rect(0, 0, _CoreMediaPlayer.NaturalVideoWidth, _CoreMediaPlayer.NaturalVideoHeight);
aVideoDrawing.Player = _CoreMediaPlayer;
DrawingBrush DBrush = new DrawingBrush(aVideoDrawing);
DBrush.Stretch = System.Windows.Media.Stretch.Uniform;
this.Width = _CoreMediaPlayer.NaturalVideoWidth;
this.Height = _CoreMediaPlayer.NaturalVideoHeight;
this.Background = DBrush;
