Description olly.exoplayer 2015-09-17 16:11:14 UTC
Specifically, this sentence:

"The second cue has its cue box right aligned at the 90% mark of the video viewport width. The same effect can be achieved with "position:55%,start", which explicitly positions the cue box."

For that to be true, shouldn't the example be:

00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:06.500 position:90%,end size:35%

And not what it is now:

00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:06.500 position:90% align:end size:35%

Since, as I understand it, "align" applies to the text within the box, not the box itself.
Comment 1 olly.exoplayer 2015-09-17 17:10:11 UTC
Seems I was wrong, because the cue's computed position alignment inherits from "align".

Great to see you managed to work it out!
