Print subtitles above a X-screen, independently of the video player.
This program uses X11 to show subtitles. If you are using Windows you probably don't use X11, if you are using Linux you probably do.
Currently, this program support only .srt subtitles. Please check also there is no empty line at the beginning of the file, or some unprintable characters before the first "1". You can see the specs of this format here : http://matroska.org/technical/specs/subtitles/srt.html
Run in a terminal
git clone https://github.com/OlivierMarty/SubtitlesPrinter.git
make
sudo make install
To show file.srt, run in a terminal :
subtitlesPrinter file.srt
To quit, press CTRL+C in the terminal. To pause and resume, press space anywhere (this does not work with all windows).
It is possible to skip x seconds, or to change the delay before starting. For other parameters and details see
subtitlesPrinter -h
Every improvement is welcome !
