[vlc-devel] [PATCH 00/11] EIA-608 closed captions rendering improvements

[Devin Heitmueller]

This patch series contains a bunch of improvements to the rendering of
EIA-608 closed captions.  This includes fixes to provide consistent
placement of captions, various bug fixes for edge cases, and code to
make styles/colors work as would be expected.

This patch series will be followed with a more invasive patch which
renders a black background under the text to improve readability.

Validated using the WGBH closed captioning test stream.
