# Undertexter
It’s fun and easy to play mp4 videos in the browser directly from a web dirlisting without having to set up a complex and heavy media server but you can’t select subtitles. So here’s a brev app that generates a minimal HTML file that just has a video tag.
It shells out to ffmpeg, which is a requirement, to convert the SRTs.
## Usage
```Code
undertexter --help
Usage: undertexter [OPTIONS]
--video=ARG Video file
--sub-dir=ARG Subs directory
```
## Installation
There’s no egg for this one yet but install csc and chicken-install and ffmpeg and then:
```Code
git clone https://idiomdrottning.org/undertexter
cd undertexter
chicken-install brev
csc -prologue <(echo "(import brev)") undertexter.brev
```
