Adding support for subtitles in The Eyevinn Channel Engine

In this blog post, I’ll describe how I added support for subtitles in the Channel Engine so it could play subtitle tracks. I will also assume that the reader is somewhat familiar with the HLS streaming format and Channel Engine or has at least read the documentation in the Channel Engine git repo , or this article link beforehand. Introduction The Eyevinn Channel Engine is an Open-Source service that works well with VODs, But before we get into it, I need to clarify what I mean when I say “subtitle tracks” and “subtitle groups”, as I will be using these words throughout this post.
