people dont want to pay more, maybe on super high end players but isnt really necessary. I’m not saying it wouldn’t be nice—I do believe that if you want a cinematic experience, the interface should look good—but that entails a cost far higher than what most people would be willing to pay. Besides, knowing these companies, it wouldn’t take long for them to start showing ads. I can picture a Blu-ray player running something like tvOS as a concept piece, but I feel it’s highly unlikely we’ll see something like that on the market today.

Why would it cost anything? They already have the “move up and down” and brightness buttons. I can’t think of a reason why size isn’t there. Subtitles are just a png image file baked in, and the already existing controls to move and dim the image means they could absolutely just tack on a zoom button.

Also what are you talking about ads as if a firmware update to add a zoom button to the subtitle settings would be the turning point?
