OBS Subtitle server

Solution for streaming subtitles in OBS using a browser source updating from a local web server, that gets updated subtitle lines from a python script.

Subtitle text files in .../subs/*.txt , with subtitle lines in plaintext

Local web server uses ports 3000 and 8080

Rust implementation

Someone wrote a superfast™ Rust implementation of the subtitle script. Run it like this: First, put subtitles in py_scripts/subs/*.txt, then:

• Install Rust
• Maybe install pkg-config and libssl-dev apt packages if using Debian/Ubuntu
• cd txt2post
• cargo run

Keyboard shortcuts:

• Space: Show next line
• b: Show previous line
• c: Clear screen
• v: Disable/enable sending requests
• m: Go to menu
• q: Quit

JavaScript implementattion

Does not use a POST endpoint, but instead updates the current text internally using a Node.js terminal application. To run:

• cd server
• npm install
• npm run start

How to write subtitles:

• Use comments (#) to show lines in terminal but not on the website
• Use [ ] enclosed comments to show blank lines
• Use / as as newline
• Use :: to separate bottom/left/top/right parts
• Copy text from Docs to subs/raw.txt and run ǹpm run convert to create subs/undertekster.txt
• Open subtitles with npm run start
