Preview of .srt files (subtitles)

Open yichnal opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

Description of the new feature / enhancement

.srt files contain movie subtitles (_S_ub_R_ip _T_ext) and are text file.

They can be displayed like any other text file, so I suggest that they be display in the preview pane in Windows explorer.

Scenario when this would be used?

SRT files format is easy to read, it's a pair of timestamps followed by the text to be display during this interval, for example : 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:15,300 some text It would be useful to be able to see that info because it allows to calculate the time difference with a second (and out of sync) srt file, just by alternatively selecting 2 srt files (probably in different languages) in a given movie folder.

It makes sense to implement it as common previewer that we can use it in preview pane and Peek.
