External subtitles seems to be supported

I have noticed that in the source code of VLC for iOS there is an additional parameter sub for x-callback that is not in the iOS documentation.

I have an external video and an external subtitle. I want to watch them on VLC (no downloading)
https://download-a.akamaihd.net/files/c ... _cnt_1.vtt Spanish subtitles
https://download-a.akamaihd.net/files/c ... _r720P.mp4 Video with English audio and embedded English subtitles


So the x-callback would be

Code: Select all

vlc-x-callback://x-callback-url/stream?url=https://download-a.akamaihd.net/files/content_assets/10/502200113_E_cnt_1_r720P.mp4&sub=https://download-a.akamaihd.net/files/content_assets/c1/502200113_S_cnt_1.vtt

You can test the x-callback by copying and pasting in safari, and you will see that VLC only shows the english subtitles embedded in the video, but not the external spanish subtitles.

What am I doing wrong? How can I play an external video with external subtitles, either with x-callback or with a playlist?

it requires vlc options which are not passed through callback syntax

Thanks to new iOS updates of VLC 3.3.x, now it's possible to play a video with external subtitles using x-callback.

Code: Select all

vlc-x-callback://x-callback-url/stream?url=<video-url>&sub=<subs-url>

For example:

Code: Select all

vlc-x-callback://x-callback-url/stream?url=https://download-a.akamaihd.net/files/content_assets/10/502200113_E_cnt_1_r720P.mp4&sub=https://download-a.akamaihd.net/files/content_assets/c1/502200113_S_cnt_1.vtt
