extract subtitles

[loaiabdalslam]

I'm trying to find a way to grab the current subtitle in an MP4 file. I see that ffmpeg can extract all subtitles into an .srt file, but it would be useful for me to just grab the current subtitle based on the current timestamp of a video being played. Especially useful if it can be done with python. This would be akin to opencv and moviepy, where I can extract the current frame as an image based on the current timestamp of the video.

I see a lot of libraries that work with subtitle .srt files (e.g. pysrt) but none that access individual subtitles from a playng mp4 file.

how to extract srt from mp3 ? and then show it at top of video

Do you mean extracting parts of a subtitle in a certain timeframe ? This can be easily achieved with pysrt. Could you clarify this issue a bit ?

I'm working on creating a project to extract the subtitles from the video and at the same time rewrite it on the video after extracting it in a black label, how can I achieve this through the library I want code or a way for doing that ..

Hum this can be done with moviepy but is more of a question for https://stackoverflow.com, this issue tracker is for bugs and new features only otherwise it's not manageable for the maintainers.

Best,
