Extension summary

Analyze keywords

A very simple extension which purpose is to assign a text track (.srt or .vtt) to a HTML5 video element in a web page.

Many HTML5 video players do not offer the ability to import text track for captions/subtitles purpose. The purpose of this extension is to remediate this problem.

When you want to assign a text track to a video element in a web page:

Open the popup menu and click "Assign text track to..."
Move the mouse over the target video element
- Click the video element if needed
A file picker will appear
Pick the .srt or .vtt file to use as text track

The video should now render the captions/subtitles of the file you selected.

The content scripts of CCaptioner are injected if and only if you click on its toolbar icon while on a specific web site, and only for that web site. Once the text track is embedded, the content script terminates and should be garbage-collected by your browser's JavaScript engine.
