DirtyOldTownMy least favorite closed caption/subtitle is "[speaking in foreign language]"It's an Italian character speaking to another Italian character, in a scene set in Italy.

TOVPeerTube v7 has been released. This release focuses on editing captions.The caption editing tool was in need of attention. Now, when admins want to add a caption to a video, a new modal makes editing captions really convenient.

Derk-Jan 💙💛🇺🇦I've been so annoyed that there still isn't a decent WebVTT parser for PHP (there's a few halfway there ones, but they don't do much more than SRT parsers).So this weekend I've started on making one, based on the original Mozilla vtt.js parser. I already have the basics working, but the region and content parsing as well as the test cases, still need quite some work before I'll publish it.Goal is to make a spec compliant parser, validator and writer.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/video" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#video</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/vtt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#vtt</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/captions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#captions</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/php" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#php</a>
