SubLangLearn

Watch a movie with foreign audio track, play with subtitles - and learn new language.

It is a simple golang webserver that controls VLC Player via Remote Control. A uses reads subtitles in browser and can jump to previous or next phrases easy.

For me - English is a foreign language.

Prerequisites

VLC Player.

Tested only on Windows 10 x64.

Optional “config.ini” file (sample file is in sources):

path to VLC player:

vlc_path=C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe

tcp port of VLC Player Remote Control:

vlc_port=3016

tcp port of golang webserver:

web_port=2016

Start

Usage: SubLangLearn.exe <movie_path> <subtitles_path>

Example: SubLangLearn.exe "D:\FRIENDS\Season 02\02x01 - The One With Ross' New Girlfriend.avi" "D:\FRIENDS\Season 02\02x01 - The One With Ross' New Girlfriend.srt"

!!! Sometimes start is crashed - repeat please.

Subtitles should be in .srt format and utf-8 encoded.

Open page “localhost:2016” (web_port from config.ini)
