Add track element for transcript/caption file #19

Open jkohler-splice opened 2 years ago

jkohler-splice commented 2 years ago

For various reasons including search engine optimization, it would be helpful if a track element was created along with the video element in the cloudflare-stream. The track element should reference the WebVTT file uploaded to Cloudflare as captions for the video, if there is one. If I am opening this issue in the wrong repo, please redirect me. Thanks much.

You can add captions via the API described here. Does that suit your needs, or is it something else?

@third774 This is something else; we're looking for a way to expose the WebVTT to search bots. To our understanding, given a <video><track src="caption.vtt" /></video> are able to crawl the VTT file. However, with this configuration, there are no tracks listed. So it seems that the Cloudflare captions would not be accessible to crawling.
