Hi , guys .
I have used mplayer in linux that has an interesting feature of going to next & previous subtitle using 'y' & 'g' keys respectively.
Have you see any video player app that gives this facility ?
Let us say , subtitle file is unsynced in such a way that dialogue appears late & increasingly late than expected .
In that case . advancing or delaying the video will not help because subtitles can never get synced. Ofcourse , it is fault of subtitle creator .
In such a scenario , I press 'y' key as soon as character in video speaks.
It is like navigating in subtitle stream . Here also , subtitles never get synced , but I have to be alert & press once at every sound bite .
In some android video player apps , I have seen option to increase or decrease subtitle advance/delay . I found that cumbersome too , because you have to continually press the key till you do not see the next subtitle .
I am beginning to learn creating app from Creating an Android Project | Android Developers
I have the following idea.
Create two windows (stacked vertically) - one in which video plays & other in which subtitles appear .
For my simplicity , say I will just use srt files as subtitles.
The subtitle window (let us call it w2) has button 'g' on left & 'y' on right .
Subtitle window will display subtitles by getting current time from video window (let us call it w1) & display corresponding lines from srt.
When user clicks on 'y' button in w2 then subtitle from srt is displayed. Also app measures difference between w1 time & new subtitle time. So that , it starts showing subtitles with that delay/advance from w1 time.
I require your valuable feedback to accomplish above scenario & point me in the right direction.
If you think - idea is interesting enough , then it is yours . I am happy to assist.
Thank You for listening.
Eagerly waiting for your reply.
