https://www.theverge.com/2025/1/9/24339817/vlc-player-automatic-ai-subtitling-translation

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.

Ok now that's cool. Since it's often all doom and gloom here, celebrating good tech is a nice change :)

Since VLC is open source, can we expect this AI subtitle generator as a separate product that could be used in, say, jellyfin?

I use subgen to generate my subtitles locally. I have it linked to Bazarr but apparently there’s webhooks for Jellyfin.

This is fantastic, thank you for sharing. I’ve struggled with some media not having suitable subtitles available for download.
