Introducing the Subtitle Feature

[getroot]

OvenMediaEngine now allows you to insert subtitles in real time during live streaming via API. Of course, multilingual subtitles are supported.
You can already test it on the master branch, and it will be officially supported in the next release (0.19.1).

For details, see: https://docs.ovenmediaengine.com/dev/subtitles

In the future, we also plan to support this feature in WebRTC. However, the priority will depend on how many users actually need subtitles in WebRTC.
If you need the WebRTC + Subtitle feature, please let us know.

[Note]

hls.js currently does not properly support subtitles with LL-HLS. We have submitted a report about this:
video-dev/hls.js#7522

Until this is resolved, subtitles may not be displayed correctly when playing LL-HLS in OvenPlayer. In the meantime, you can test normally by adding ?_HLS_lagacy=YES to the URL, which switches LL-HLS to a mode that does not use partial segments.
Alternatively, you can test subtitles correctly using other players such as Shaka Player, Safari, or THEOplayer.
