[Feature Request] Handle WebVtt cue settings
It would be nice if pysubs2 could interpret all the cue settings: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/WebVTT_API#cue_settings
- vertical
- line
- position
- size
- align
This would allow to correctly convert some .ass tag into cue vtt setting and vice-versa.
I agree :) The WebVTT support is very basic at the moment.
What is more relevant for your use-case: converting existing .ass to .vtt, or getting .ass formatting out of existing .vtt files?
In my case, it would be .ass to .vtt file, but of course, .vtt to .ass is needed.
I don't know it if it can help you, but I have created an library that parse .ass tag: https://github.com/moi15moi/ass_tag_analyzer It parse tag like VSFilter/Libass.
Here is a website to test some webvtt feature (but we can't test all the setting :/): https://ronallo.com/demos/webvtt-cue-settings/
vertical: \frz tag (I don't totally understand the difference between lr and rl) line: Sometime the x value of \pos() position: Sometime the y value of \pos()¸ size: There isn't really a .ass tag for this. The only way is to modify the left and the right margin, but we would need to know the text length which is not possible align: \an or \a
