Feature request: Endpoint to manually retrieve external subtitiles

[Luke 37008]

here is what the url will be

 

/Videos/{Id}/Subtitle/{Index}

[Redshirt 1487]

The default media player starting in Android 4.1 can accept an external timed text file. Currently I believe only subrip (.srt) is supported, but the ability to insert the timed text file afterwards would mean I don't have to automatically transcode when a user selects a subtitle.

yup makes sense

Cool. This might actually be useful to the roku too. It has built in subtitle support. So on files that should be direct play but get transcoded just to burn in subtitles, I could switch to this. Thanks.

Now, how can I tell the server to only provide me .srt subtitle files? Is there a way to filter the getsubtitle call to only return a .srt?

 

Reason is because the client I'm attempting to build only supports .srt and my library has .idx/.sub in some folders also.
