A developer who was working at the W3C on video accessibility and previously at Mozilla on video subtitles wrote "As for Ogg: my suggestion would be to find a way to encapsulate WebVTT into Ogg Kate (similar to how it already encapsulated SRT) and then also support that through the TextTrack API of HTML5."
WebVTT subtitle support can be enabled in Firefox 26 by going to about:config and changing media.webvtt.enabled from "false" to "true". It is scheduled to be enabled by default in Firefox 28, although I assume that is dependent on fixing https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=921484 first. It might be a bit annoying until they fix https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=887934 but I guess that can wait until later. In my opinion, fixing https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=886353 and https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=876505 can definitely wait until later. ** Bug watch added: Mozilla Bugzilla #921484 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=921484 ** Bug watch added: Mozilla Bugzilla #887934 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=887934 ** Bug watch added: Mozilla Bugzilla #886353 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=886353 ** Bug watch added: Mozilla Bugzilla #876505 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=876505 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/531596 Title: Ubuntu does not recognize "kate" subtitles format (default format in ogg) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gstreamer0.10/+bug/531596/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
