You wrote on your product page:

"Chromecast only supports a handful of subtitle formats, .srt not included. But it does support WebVTT. So we extract whatever subtitles are in your video, convert them to WebVTT, and then reattach them to the video through Chomecast's API."

Did you attempt to get this ported to VLC?

I did not. But nor did I write the conversation code. That was an existing python lib.
