Any plans to support WebVTT? #14

Open DHuckaby opened 9 years ago

This would be very useful in my usages.

JDaren commented 9 years ago

It wouldn't be too hard, 2 days, 5 if I want to add support for most features... However it's been a long time since I've dedicated this project more than a couple hours so I'm sorry, but it's not on my plans. Best of luck with WebVTT!

PS: where is WebVTT used? when looking around 4 years ago I discarded it because I didn't see much usage, maybe it was just released.

+1 on the request of DHuckaby, will be very useful on the project that I'm currently working on :)

@JDaren Sorry I never replied, I didn't get a notification. I have found opensubtitles.org uses webvtt, which is my main source of subtitles. My current solution is very hacky, but I would rather use an official one if possible. :)

@ldimitroff What is your use case for webvtt... I might do the effort to implement the basic functionalities if there's a need for it.

ldimitroff commented 9 years ago

@JDaren We will be using the same funcionalities as any other captions, we're just using the TTO object in order to show the text at the caption time, regarding format or font.

+1 for this. It'll help the development of my Android Chromecast sender app a lot since Chromecast only supports WebVTT and TTML subtitles.
