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
It’s already available for anyone to use. https://github.com/openai/whisper
They’re using OpenAI’s Whisper model for this: https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc/-/merge_requests/5155
crunchyroll is currently using AI subtitles. it’s obvious because when someone says “mothra. Funky…” it captions “mother fucker”
