The popular open-source VLC video player was demonstrated on the floor of CES 2025 with automatic AI subtitling and translation, generated locally and offline in real time. Parent organization VideoLAN shared a video on Tuesday in which president Jean-Baptiste Kempf shows off the new feature, which uses open-source AI models to generate subtitles for videos in several languages.
As vlc is open source, can we expect this technology to also be available for, say, jellyfin, so that I can for once and for all have subtitles.done right?
Edit: I think it’s great that vlc has this, but this sounds like something many other apps could benefit from

That explains why their subtitles have seemed worse to me lately. Every now and then I see something obviously wrong and wonder how it got by anyone who looked at it. Now I know why. No one looked at it.
