Hello maintainer for the vlc FreeBSD pkg... I like vlc media player - but the default options in FreeBSD pkgs are without ass/ssa subtitle support. Not so in MS Windows. I'm using GhostBSD distro. Q. As a matter privilege, shouldn't pkgs, where possible, default to be inclusive of all accessibility tools? Q. Are there guidelines for authoring FreeBSD pkgs concerning accessibility support generally? Q. Are you able to change the default compile option to true for ass/ssa? Then GhostBSD team would make the pkg binaries with this setting. In the mean time I'm porting the pkg and editing the Makefile to compile the pkg locally to assist those that require ssa subtitles support. Note: The ass/ssa [substation alpha] formats allow for coloured subtitles to indicate who who is saying what in the video. Kind regards, Steve Extract from vlc pkg info showing ASS = off: vlc-3.0.11_3,4 Name : vlc Version : 3.0.11_3,4 Installed on : Tue Sep 1 08:54:16 2020 AEST Origin : multimedia/vlc Architecture : FreeBSD:12:amd64 Prefix : /usr/local Categories : multimedia net audio www Licenses : GPLv2 Maintainer : multimedia@FreeBSD.org WWW : https://www.videolan.org Comment : Qt based multimedia player and streaming server Options : A52 : off AALIB : off AOM : off ASS : off
