  AContent FlowPlayer and Subtitles

  Hi,
  
  I've got a general question regarding the media tag, FlowPlayer and subtitles. Is it possible to integrate subtitles, as FlowPlayer supports this? I examined the code within "home\classes\ContentUtility.class.php" and wonder if it is possible to automatically load a separate subtitle file for each MP4 or FLV video. My idea is to modify the code and to load the subtitle. E.g. if the video looks something like [media]../../myvideo.flv[/media], this gets replaced with FlowPlayer during runtime. Now you could simply include a syntax that loads a subtitle file called "myvideo.srt" for usage with FlowPlayer.
  
  Is that a proper approach to solve this issue or does anybody have a different idea?
  
  Kind regards
  
  Bjrn

  Re: AContent, FlowPlayer and Subtitles

  extending the [media] to take a caption file as a parameter sounds like it might work. something like [media captions="../../myvideo.srt"]
  
  Take a look at the Flowplayer captions plugin.
  http://flowplayer.org/plugins/flash/captions.html

  You can potentially add it to the flowplayer module.
  
  Are you planning on submitting your work to GitHub?
