Noticeable Delayed ASS Signs

[ethaldeman]

While testing Wholphin's implementation of libass-android via damontecres/Wholphin#1052 , some sample mkv were identified that experience significant sign rendering delay, ~.5 seconds, in both Wholphin's and Jellyfin's official android tv app's implmentation of libass-android. They render at the correct time for Wholphin's MPV and Jellyfin's official android tv app ffmpeg transcoding.

Is this fixable, or is it an unavoidable consequence of androidx/media#2289?

Let me know if you have any questions or I can help in any way.

Yes, due to media#2289, the render time is not exactly, and when render ass, it use a texture view and render thread, the display alway late at least one frame.

When this issue will be fixed androidx/media#723, we will be able to use setVideoEffects and it will fix this issue.
For the moment, we can't really do anything about it.

[peerless2012]

Even it, it is true dv when use effect?

Hi,
androidx/media#2289 taged "Closed as not planned".
androidx/media#723 opened since 12 Oct. 2023.

They've forgotten a lot of people behind them. Basically, the entire Japanese animation industry and more.

It's a bit like saying, "Just because there are black and white newspapers, you don't need color books..." It's sad.
