i'm not very found of people not considering that they are asking others to spend their time on things, and then they don't even take the time to check the samples they put out (which obviously wasn't the case here but it sure looked like it). which i've also been burned my more than once.

That's Ok, but if you took the little time to click on my link of my first post you'll see, that I was the guy who asked the developer of THE Matroska tool MKVToolNix to add support for WebVTT. That's the reason why the specification is so new. Here is my first post:

I already created a ticket at MKVToolNix.
MPC-BE developers have kindly added support of WebVTT subtitles:
Browse for r1207 here

I was also the guy who asked the developers of MPC-BE to add support for WebVTT support, that's the reason why I know MPC-BE supports it.
MPC-BE supports since r1207 external WebVTT subtitles, because I asked for support (at least for the basic youtube usage which is enough for now)
Follow the link to see my post from 24. February for adding WebVTT support: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=...ost1758364
In these days NOBODY was able to create a MKV file with the TRUE specs. That's the reason why the developers added it in r1405 (some hours ago)
And here you can see, that I asked yesterday (!) for WebVTT support in MKV: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=...ost1764241

i'm not really being aggressive, it's just my way of communicating when i'm short on time.

Think of writing not so aggessive. This will help us and especially you for the future.

So please don't call it:

but it sure looked like it

That's not true. Trust me, I'm not one of those who talk shit, I double check things before asking people. In future investigate a bit deeper.

this has to be taken to ffmpeg upstream as noted.

I create a ticket at ffmpeg.

thanks for the investigation.

You are welcome.
Have a nice day

Now it's time for the developers of Kodi to let us know if they add support. And if yes, when Kodi will support WebVTT.
