So, I recently ran into a situation where I was driving live streams of VODs. I was doing the entire production from start to finish; recording, editing, getting the captions pre-done and then broadcasting. The original intent was that I was trying to locate a good service to do scheduled streams with sidecar caption files (since all providers strip out embedded captions from VOD uploads). It comes to my attention that absolutely NOBODY has that as a function.
I had to build my own tool for running videos from a URL and loading the sidecar captions on there too using the YouTube POST method rather than 608 embedded.
While I have a lot of web experience, and I am experimenting with the obs websocket method of embedding 608 feeds into the RTMP output, I feel that my expertise fails with what should be a far better option: a new media type or adaptation to the current ffmpeg_source input type which allows for an external SRT, VTT or other caption file which would automatically use the media playback curser to embed the captions automatically. Briefly looking at the code, I can honestly say I have not enough experience to directly make this branch / repo myself but would love to help somebody who perhaps has.
Thoughts?
