How to help to develop API plugins

[hce]

Hi,

As no one responded me following question, I assume that the subtitle API in plugins does not work in 0.9 VLC. I am a C/C++ developer and I can help to make the subtitle API work. Having said that, I am still new to VLC and it is my first time to work with open source development. I don't know who should I contact to get coordination and who I can ask to get current API plugin status for further development. Please enlighten me to a new start of my contrition.

Thank you.

Hi Jean-Paul Saman,

I was advised that you committed play subtitle API on master :: rbe9c509e4c vlc/projects/mozilla/test.html: (link)
Add subtitle and teletext JS API to test.html
http://git.videolan.org/gitweb.cgi/vlc. ... e0b0486f86

Could you please advice whether the JS API to play subtitle works or not in 0.9 VLC? I followed you test.html, I got an error of undefined vlc.video.subtitle for running JS on Mozilla.

This API can be backported.

This API can be backported.

Would you please explain me the details of which version of VLC source code contains last verion of the API for backporting to 0.9 VLC, and which directories where the API source code located? Do I need a permission to start the backport process?

I can start the backport process as soon as all information is provided.

Thank you.

Those changes are in master. You can cherry-pick the commits to 0.9-branch.
