Hi friends,

I am not able to see subtitles in gtk-youtube-viewer.

I installed Gcap, subtitles are enabled, also I dowloaded subtitles by terminal with gcap.

I run antiX 13.2 fully updated (apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade)

Any advice?

Is this a bug?


Edit 1: I tried gtk-youtube-viewer on other partition with antiX 13.1 and the subtitles are working well...

Edit 2: I did this

but not solution

I would investigate the sub formats mplayer handles.
And investigate whether I could expand those it does by default. Get more.

I'm taking it, youtube either sequences these subs to video on the fly / at playtime (rather than hard-coding them after the user submits them) OR

Could Youtube videos, or rather, their subtitles, be HARD-CODED into the video?
(ie, at upload, a youtube hard-codes user subs into the clip...)
Hw could simple Gcap retrieve it?

The container format - then grab the sub...? Not sure myself.

But, Whether I'm right or wrong on this. Here 2 links of note:

Those are the possible formats you may be dealing with. Might help.
