Additional VTT Support (Enhanced Details) #1273

Open ewenmic opened 2 months ago

ewenmic commented 2 months ago

Related Problem:

Sometimes, additional information besides captions and chapters is relevant to the viewer. Amazon Prime Video has an interesting feature called "X-Ray" where additional information is passed while the player is paused (usually about characters in the scene, presumable with WebVTT)

Describe:

I'd like to pass an additional WebVTT (or similar) object to display that information in various formats (either while paused, or maybe inside another menu)

Alternatives:

Someone could implement such a feature outside the player using hooks pretty easily.

Anything Else?

Watch the Fallout show on Amazon Prime and pause it 😉 (their DRM restricts screenshots)
