What would be needed to make this off-line capable with supplied media? Just a bunch of well-formatted SRT subtitle files?
Obviously some kind of lookup between languages too, but what i'm asking is : is this just a fancy srt/language api parser?
I want to use this, but I don't use Netflix. It looks very cool.

- davidzweig 7y agoOgnjen (guy I worked with to make this extension) previously made something similar for offline media (https://github.com/oaprograms/lingo-player https://github.com/oaprograms/lingo-player). It's neglected now though and probably suffered bitrot. We could use the code from our extension to support offline media.. but Chrome doesn't support MP4 playback IIRC. It's possible to make an Electron/NW.js app, but the vlc plugin isn't working with latest versions, last time we checked. Appreciate any info.
