Description
Provide users the option to add a .vtt closed caption file to videos.
This is an important accessibility feature for the deaf or hard of hearing.
Use-case
Things to consider:
- Whether more than one vtt file can ever be added to a single video.
- Whether we distinguish between the kinds of WebVTTs: captions or subtitles. Default appears to be subtitles.
- How the labels for the individual track(s) are to be determined. For example, one possibility is choosing a language that will in turn determine both the label and
srclang of the track.
- Whether to bother checking & honoring streams containing an
mov_text tag in mp4 containers
- Sanity and security checks. eg size limits.
I personally would also like to avoid solely relying on third-party automated caption generation as the only solution.
