Hi all,
Has it been considered adding another method to add cues to a track?
Something like addCues(DOMString text) where the text is not only one
cue (like in the TextTrackCue ctor) but where the text would be
multiple cues as written in a WebVTT file? My use case is that I'm
getting WebVTT content from a server using XHR and I'd like to add
that easily to the track, without having to parse them myself.
Ideally, I would like to push the WebVTT content to the track a bit
like the Media Source Extension API. Another option (less ideal)
would be to have a WebVTTParser object with a parseFromString method
returning a TextTrackList (a bit like the DOMParser object). Each cue
could be added one by one.
Comments?
Cyril
You can parse WebVTT using a dummy video+track element and then move
the cues to the actual track, why is this less than ideal?
I did not think about that option. It could do the trick. Thank you. By
less than ideal, I meant that if I can push content to a buffer and let
the browser parse the text and add the cues to the track, it seems
easier/more elegant than having either to parse in JS or to create dummy
elements and move cues around.
