Does HTML5 Video support srt textTrack?
I don't think SRT's are natively supported, but you have two options.
1) Use a library like videosub which is just one include in your HTML file and the SRT's just work via JavaScript.
or
2) Use a service like Caption Converter to convert your SRT files to VTT.
Yes , you are correct.
.srt is not working with html5, but .vtt does .
if we use .srt then we may need a special player.
But we can simply convert .srt to .vtt .
There isn't much difference between those two,it is
Only the way they represent milliseconds. And also there is a WEBVTT in the beginning of .vtt files . (online converter https://atelier.u-sub.net/srt2vtt/)
i.e.
**srt**

00:00:06,071 --> 00:00:08,926
Firstly, when to use it.
When are the best times?
**vtt**
