Abstract

Video streaming has become a very popular application on the web, with rich player interfaces and subtitle integration. Additionally, live streaming solutions are deployed based on HTTP Streaming technologies. However, the integration of video and subtitles in live streaming solutions still poses some problems. This paper describes a demonstration of live streaming of video and subtitle data using the MPEG-DASH technology and its synchronous playback in a web browser. It presents the formats, architecture and technical choices made for this demonstration and shows that it is feasible with upcoming browsers, paving the way for richer web video applications.
