[question] Subtitles about airplayer

[watson]

@citin not at the moment. The AirPlay protocol doesn't support subtitles directly. But it might be possible to do it if the video gets wrapped in HLS as I think that supports webvtt.

One downside though is that the video needs to be cut up into chunks of say 20 seconds. HLS technically supports just serving the entire video as one chunk, but I think that will make skipping inside the video impossible.

Existing node modules use FFmpeg to cut the video into chunks. But those require that FFmpeg is installed on the host system or they won't work :(

Here's an example of an HLS stream with subtitles: http://cdnbakmi.kaltura.com/p/243342/sp/24334200/playManifest/entryId/0_uka1msg4/flavorIds/1_vqhfu6uy,1_80sohj7p/format/applehttp/protocol/http/a.m3u8

Thanks for answering!
I'll read more about that and try to use it.
Later i'll tell you.
thanks again!

I'm missing something?
i've installed the npm ffmpeg.
