Subtitles. Is there a way to add a global style/override any embedded subtitle styling. As per now I get different styles and subtitle positioning depending on the provided subtitle format. Frustrating. 🙂 I’m not a developer so please go easy on me.

Hi Mattias,  
You could try overriding the CSS in the UI via  
`.bmpui-ui-subtitle-overlay` and `.bmpui-ui-subtitle-label`
