Simple Video Subtitles

Synopsis

The Simple Video Subtitles module allows you to display video files hosted in your server.
It creates a Field Formatter, available for fields of type File.
Does NOT use any java scripts or CSS and depends on the capability of the browser to render HTML5 Video.

Supports:

• mp4, ogg and webm as video formats.
• vtt as subtitles format.
• gif or jpg as images for the poster.

Basic features:

• Setting Width and Height of the player.
• Additional custom CSS Classes.
• Setting Autoplay.
• Setting Muted.
• Usage of subtitles (.vtt).
  • If using subtitles it is recommended to "Enable Description field" option.
  • The content of this field will be used for displaying the language of each subtitle.
• Usage of poster (.jpg or .gif).
  • Although most browsers will show the first frame of the video before starting playing, some mobile browsers will not.
  • To avoid the player to initially render blank in some platforms, uploading a gif or jpg image for use as poster is recommended.
  • If you upload several images only the top one will be used for the poster. Rearrange the order of the files to select the image to use.
