[YouTube-API] Re: I Can't Read YouTube Subtitles

Hey, thanks for your reply,

Well, this isn't the best example that I can give you but here,
I just happen to be wearing a light coloured T-Shirt and the
subtitles are only just legible agains the background.

If you look here:

at 0:35, you can see that the white table makes
parts of the text illegible.

I wondered if there's anyway that YouTube could
put a little outline around it or maybe do proper TV
subtitles where the writing's in boxes.

Thanks
Matt
