[playbin] Support subtitle renderers additional to subtitle parsers
Last modified: 2009-11-12 12:29:01 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #481075 +++ We need support for subtitle renderes in playbin(2), for example assrender. Currently we only support parsers that output timestamped text and playbin internally links it to an overlay element (textoverlay). assrender OTOH takes subtitle and video input and does the overlaying itself already. For this it probably makes sense to introduce a subtitle bin, which takes video and subtitle as input and outputs overlayed video. Internally it would look for renderers and parsers and handle everything that is needed.

So this is no duplicate of bug #350311 at all, subpicture subtitle support is already there in playbin2 but no subtitle renderer support.
I'd like to follow progress on this bug a bit closer, but I'm not sure how to proceed without bugging the mailing list. Any tips or who I should be in correspondence with?

Fixes bugs #595123, #570753, #591662, #591706.
