"Extend the Media Player Video View for multiple bitmap overlays, then
extend the node to produce bitmap buffers for subtitles and menus.
Extend the player for subtitle options alongside the stream options.
(Seeing as subtitles are timed bitmaps, and that the media player uses
a bitmap to show video, this shouldn't be hard)"
This is an area we need to talk about. I am currently working on a
video mixing node (combines multiple video sources into one) with the
aim of handling subtitles and overlays.
I was also intending to write a timed text decoder.
