Subtitle Support for the Video Player Component

With web panels that could play video, we would have been able to take care of this ourselves using web technologies. But with the video player component, we need subtitle support to come from VRC.
Supporting .srt subtitle files someday would be fantastic. Not all videos have burned in subtitles.
Bonus: .webvtt would be great too. For stuff like Vimeo and YouTube videos.

This is actually possible already thanks to string loading, as shown in the Illumination Media world for movies and youtube subtitles in the YTS video search world.

Οllie: Official support that can properly display subtitles included in MP4s and other formats would be ideal though!

Yeah, it's sad because as a deaf person, Videos in VRChat are inaccessible.
So whenever I find a friend watching a video, I just leave.

I think it can be fantastic for hard of hearing people and people of different language to have easier access to videos.

wondering using udon scripting if i could like be able to get list of subtitles with title, languages,format, ... embedded in the video stream played through avpro(so i can list what subtitles to give people) and be able to tell the avpro player(or a another component) to automatically overlay the subtitle over the video. a lot of subtitles are picture based so text only would not be viable and good option.

Now that VRChat uses AVPRO for the video/livestreams it'd be helpful to use its subtitle method rather than having to hardcode subtitles into everything

This is something I have been giving some thought to for my personal project, because I don't want to hard-sub any content. You do get an event when a video starts, and one when it pauses, and it seems like it should be possible to use this to sync up an Animator to show subtitles.
(I'm just a very long way off figuring out how it would all hold together.)
