Feature Request: Vertical Positioning Option for SSA/ASS Subtitles on Android (Plain Subtitles)

[pctechkid]

Description
I’m requesting a feature enhancement for the Android Stremio app to improve subtitle positioning for SSA/ASS subtitle files.

Currently, SSA/ASS styled subtitles either use their embedded positions/styles or fall back to default placement. I want the option to use plain subtitle display (no style) but still be able to change the vertical position (e.g., raise/lower where the text shows on screen). This is especially important for anime viewing, where SSA/ASS subtitles are common and the default bottom position sometimes overlaps UI elements or important onscreen visuals.

Problem
SSA/ASS subtitles include formatting that doesn’t always display correctly on Android in Stremio.
I want the unstyled subtitle text but still need a control for vertical positioning of the subtitles.
Current subtitle settings on Android don’t offer a dedicated vertical position selector for plain subtitle mode.

Suggested Solution

Add a subtitle vertical position control (e.g., slider or numeric offset) that works for plain subtitles, including SSA/ASS, separate from style rendering. This would let users choose where subtitled text appears without forcing complex formatting or losing readability.

Use Case

Watching anime or video with embedded SSA/ASS subtitles — want readable subtitles without styling but still want them positioned higher on the screen.

Expected Behavior

A new setting, e.g.:

Subtitles > Vertical Position
Offset slider (e.g., in pixels/percent)
Works regardless of subtitle format (including SSA / ASS plain text)
This would allow vertical adjustment even when SSA/ASS formatting is disabled or unsupported.
