A Chrome extension that allow you to provide SRT, TTML, VTT, or SAMI subtitles to any video on the web.
The streaming world has never been so exciting. Many companies are investing a large number of resources to deliver video on the web. This is changing how we get entertained.
However, depending on the country you live, you may face some limitations of right about specific video content that can be delivered. This also concerns subtitles.
To answer these problems, you can now provide your subtitles. Thus, for example, if you stay in a country where the streaming provider can't have access to the captions you wish, you can use that extension.
This is also useful for people that don't like subtitles that the services are providing and so providing your captions.
The magic behind is the rx-player's tools.
Which will do the hard work:
- Parse the subtitles types in format that can be understand by Javascript
- Display the subtitles. It's using his own internal logic to display the subtitles at the right moment.
Using the chrome-extension is very easy to do.
Once downloaded the extension:
- You should go at the Options of the app (right click on the icon -> options).
- Then a popup will appear.
- Finally, you can follow on to display you own subtitles.
We are currently supporting four differents types of subtitles:
