SkyShowTime subtitle styling still buggy, support confirms

[FlorisMK]

Subtitle styling is still broken on SkyShowTime. My experience:

• Web: The subtitle styling option in Account settings gives an error when saving, and has no effect.
• Web: The subtitle styling option during playback works, and persists over different sessions and different content.
• Android: No subtitle styling option available. Changes to the web styling do not affect the Android app.
• LG WebOS: No subtitle styling option available. Changes to the web styling do not affect the WebOS app.

I've just been in touch with SST support (twice), and they've acknowledged that this is a current issue. "Will pass it on to the relevant team," blah blah. In any case: don't bother trying to fix, we'll just have to wait for an update that fixes it.

@FlorisMK what country are you in?

This forum is for sky customers in uk & Ireland.

Sky showtime is a separate streaming app  available in countries where Sky do not have their own operations.

My apologies. I'm in the Netherlands. I guess I should not post here.

The main issue is none of us have actually seen Showtime because it's not available in countries which have Sky satellite service.

Thanks, I know. I've been in touch with them, and my post here was the result: a PSA about the current status. I just wasn't aware I was on the wrong forum 🙂

[FlorisMK]

Which is why I should not post here; my post was intended as a PSA, but this is the wrong audience.

I have a problem on WEB. I cant change the stile of subtitle.

If this to do with Sky Showtime @Advigor then as per the posts above you are on the wrong website as this site is for Sky in the UK and Ireland.
