my proposals about node-webvtt HOT 6 CLOSED

1. I'm not sure this is consistent with the w3 webvtt standard format. If you can show an example somewhere we can figure something out
2. Description should really go after the WEBVTT word where you have "this is the coolest format for subtitles ever!!" or as a NOTE I think?
3. I like this idea, but I think let's think practically for a moment: what are some ways that the JSON output will need to be reformatted? There are quite a lot of tags including style tags, voice tags, karaoke-style time tags, etc. But I digress, one application I can think of that may benefit from the voice is if we want to convert to other formats, such as TTML. However, in that case, you should take a look at the documentation for TTML voices. Or perhaps being able to easily switch between multiple voices in an interface?
4. This is a good idea. We previously decided to not include NOTE because we wanted to be consistent with the VTTCue API. I'm not sure how it works with NOTE tbh. I guess it couldn't hurt!

These are great suggestions. What is an application for which you need the JSON to be easily modifiable?

@goatandsheep thank you for answer!
I have done a couple of parsers since this message )
I extract a tag <v.class1.class2 Ahmed> into an object: { voice: { name:"Ahmed", classes: ['class1', 'class2' ] } }
and keep Note, then parse it with yaml-parser.

I'm doing learning apps. And have a several goals. One of them is -- to display subtitles as a book -- with chapters menu navigation, and character avatars near they cues (like in chat).

Also I do player for podcasts.

@Aparus very cool! Do you have a public fork of this project that you're working in?

from node-webvtt.

@goatandsheep , it's not fork. I did it from the scratch ))
I'm sorry for lack of docs, you can see examples in test files.
It's universal subtitles parser (for srt, vtt, audacity labeles) -- for my purposes.
May be voice tag extractor will be useful for you.

About parse vtt as a book with chapters -- I can't find it. I was working on it a couple of days and now can't find any peace of code about it. It makes me crazy )

@ApayRus closing this, feel free to re-open or open new issues per feature suggestion

@goatandsheep oh, it was in codesandbox, of course )) but it is messy one.
