Hi,
I discover this web service called amara.org which you can contribute subtitles for ANY youtube video (even if you do not own the video).
Amara.org provides a good set of API which I can fetch the subtitle essentially in .srt
However, amara.org runs their own video_id within Amara (but I can match amara.org's video_id with the original Youtube video_id from within amara.org's API)
So I am looking at ways to make Kodi to automatically display subtitle for a Youtube video whenever there are subtitle available for that Youtube video in Amara.org
As i am new to Kodi development, should I look into development a subtitle service addon?
What code base should I be referencing from? (Perhaps service.subtitles.opensubtitle ?)
Or should I put the functionalities into Youtube Addon?
