2.3.0 - webvtt demuxer (external .vtt subtitles)
Added
- The
webvttdemuxer is enabled, so a standalone.vttfile can be opened at all. ThewebvttDECODER was always in the allowlist, since it serves WebVTT tracks inside Matroska and HLS where those demuxers supply the stream, but without the demuxeravformat_open_inputrejects a.vttfile withAVERROR_INVALIDDATAand an external WebVTT subtitle never loads. Same shape as the raw-PGSsupdemuxer gap fixed in 2.1.3, and it hid for the same reason: the codec was present, so the gap looked like it had to be somewhere else. It also carries the placement. libavcodec's WebVTT decoder dropsline/position/alignand says so as a@todoinwebvttdec.c's file header, but the demuxer attaches the verbatim cue settings to every packet asAV_PKT_DATA_WEBVTT_SETTINGS, which is the only path they take out of libavformat. AetherEngine reads that side data as of 5.27.0.
Demuxer count goes from 24 to 25; no other configure change. FFmpeg stays at n8.1.2, dav1d 1.5.1, zimg 3.0.5, zvbi 0.2.44.
