Embed subtitles to chromecast

[ioma8]

Would it be possible to write implementation of using embed video subtitles in chromecasted videos?
Now all automatically downloaded subtitles can be used in chromecast. But many new shows on torrents have only embed subtitles which can be turned on while playing right in the app but when casting to chromecast the option to use them disappears.
I think simple solution would be if the app behind the doors extracted the subtitles from video to srt and sent them to chromecast as any other subtitles.

Given the fact that the desktop player already lists and can show embed subtitles I suppose you are working with them already. But if it was a problem a simple ffmpeg command run in the background could do it so they could be streamable to chromecast.
ffmpeg -i video.mp4 subtitle.srt

Hi @ioma8 Sorry for the late reply
A solution to this issue is currently in development, but in a different component of the system, the streaming server.
I expect it to be ready for production soon.
