Converting to other formats #292

Closed ignaszewski closed 7 years ago

ignaszewski commented 7 years ago

Since srt is not supported by chromecast (plex is transcoding video) it will be good to have vtt convertion made by subzero on the fly.

Right now I have it done it by node script in cronetab, but it will be much better if sub zero will do it.

Yep, WebVTT is nearly the same as SRT. I'll write a converter for it and add an option. Will be implemented after 2.0 hits the public.

Quite easy, also.

pannal commented 7 years ago

Actually. @ignaszewski, please give me some insight about your setup.

You use Plex as the media organizer, then play the actual video files via chromecast? Using a Plex client (which can burn in the SRT) is no option for you?

My setup.

PMS: on Rasperry PI3 Watching on Chromecast: thrue www or mobile app

When I use VTT - no transcoding is needed (so I can watch easly fullHD). With SRT transcoding is necessary and fullHD films are lagged.

BTW thx for fast answer and implementing that future.

Great. I've just had a hunch about how easy the implementation would be and had a go at it. It's done.

Care to try it out? You'd have to switch to manual/dev installation mode and install the current develop-2.0 branch (rename the unpacked folder to Sub-Zero.bundle). There's a new setting called Subtitle formats to save.
