Optional vlcj library for integrating subtitle/sub-picture functionality into Java applications.
Why? There is no way to get sub-title text from VLC through the LibVLC API, but sometimes it would be beneficial to be able to render sub-titles in a Java application rather than relying on VLC to do it.
This project provides a simple SRT parser and a component that can trigger events that an application can use to show sub-titles at the appropriate time.
In future other parsers for different sub-title file formats may be added.
- 9th June, 2019 - new project
Documentation is currently limited but the API is very small and quite simple - please look at the test sources for example usage.
All releases are at available at Maven Central.
