<p>Accessible Video Library solves a problem in WordPress: the ability to manage videos and manage critical associated media including captions, transcripts, and subtitles for each video.</p>
<p>In WordPress 3.6, WordPress incorporated the MediaElements.js library for showing videos. It’s a good library, and includes native support for captions and internationalization, is keyboard accessible, and supports YouTube.</p>
<p>However, the WordPress implementation doesn’t provide any method to add captions, subtitles, or reference YouTube videos. You can always embed YouTube videos using oEmbed, but these videos don’t have much at all in the way of keyboard support.</p>
<p>Accessible Video Library gives you a custom post type that you can use to manage your video media. You can upload captions in .SRT or .DFXP format, upload subtitles also in .SRT or .DFXP format, use the content of the post to include a video transcript, and can reference YouTube videos.</p>
<p>Additionally, you can upload multiple formats of your video files to improve browser compatibility for your videos.</p>

<p>Simple subtitles adds a field on posts, pages, or custom post types for adding a subtitle. Post types can be enabled/disabled in the writing settings section.</p>
<p>There are several functions in the plugin that allow you to easily get subtitles for different contexts. These functions mirror the functions in core for titles.</p>
<h4>If you want to display the subtitle in your theme on your own, use the following filter:</h4>
<pre><code><?php
    function mytheme_disable_subtitle_display( $show ) {
        return false;
    }
    add_filter( 'simple_subtitle_auto', 'mytheme_disable_subtitle_display' );
?>
</code></pre>
<h4>By default, only  tags are allowed in subtitles (with only class and style attributes). There is a filter this.</h4>
<pre><code><?php
    function mytheme_simple_subtitle_allowed_html( $allowed ) {
        $allowed['strong'] = array();
        $allowed['div'] = array(
            'class' => true,
        );

        return $allowed;
    }
    add_filter( 'simple_subtitle_allowed_html', 'mytheme_simple_subtitle_allowed_html' );

?>
</code></pre>
<p>For more info on this, read into <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_kses" title="the wp_kses functions" rel="nofollow ugc">the wp_kses functions</a>.</p>
<h4>Get the subtitle.</h4>
<pre><code><?php $subtitle = get_the_simple_subtitle( $post_id ); ?>
</code></pre>
<h4>Display the current post’s subtitle. Should be used within the loop.</h4>
<pre><code><?php $subtitle = the_simple_subtitle( $before = '', $after = '', $echo = true ); ?>
</code></pre>
<h4>Get the subtitle for use in an HTML attribute.</h4>
<pre><code><?php
    $args = array(
        'before' => '',
        'after' =>  '',
        'echo' => true
    );
    $subtitle = the_simple_subtitle_attribute( $args );
?><h3>Roadmap</h3>
</code></pre>
<p>* Add a column in the admin showing subtitles.<br />
* Add a setting for selecting the subtitle HTML tag.</p>
