Hello,
Is there a way for me to turn the subtitle on or off for a video in Omeka S? I have WebVTT file.
Thanks,
Lu.
Hi @luvu ,
I know this has been discussed before, but you might need to create a custom module to handle associating the WebVTT file with the video. I don’t think anything has been done for this yet.
An alternative would be to host the videos somewhere else that provides an embeddable player that can handle subtitles.
The Transcript module supports this. Unfortunately some people are experiencing a problem with it. There may be a fault with the module, or it may be that it depends on a PHP component which is not always installed on servers. See these threads:
- Encountered an error while uploading a video to an existing item - Omeka S - Omeka Forum
- Transcript module Class ‘Locale’ error - Omeka S / Modules - Omeka Forum
The module looks good, though, as it also allows users to interact with the WebVTT transcription on screen I think. An example can be seen here: 2023 - Video de 5ta Caminata ante el Cambio Climático · AREPR
