And while there are ways to implement ASS in the browser, those require compiling the one single ASS library that actually works (because it’s an implementation-defined format, ofc) to WASM and running that in the browser. With the expected performance issues.
Now try running that on a Chromecast >_>
The fansubbing community is just so stuck in weird formats which provide no benefit except a virtual moat preventing newcomers.
- Hamuko 6y agoCan you watch Crunchyroll on a Chromecast? They at least use ASS in the browser.
- kuschku 6y agoSure, but only the english subtitle, and you can’t disable it. For Chromecast, you have to use the burned-in subtitles. Which is expected, considering the hardware just isn’t powerful enough for ASS subtitles (to get good performance, even on a desktop you’ll want a recent CPU and at least 1-2GB of RAM): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromecast#Model_comparison https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromecast#Model_comparison
