Option to offset the subtitles/captions timing Videojs#5.13.2

[roonie007]

How can I add an offset to the subtitles , some time they are not synchronized with the video , I am using "Videojs 5.13.2" , I have found the "trackTimeOffset" but it's no longer available in the 5.13.2 ? 23ab370

We did lose that option quite a long time ago in 4.12 when we added in vttjs to parse the webvtt files.

I could imagine such a feature is useful but it'll only apply to emulated tracks. I'm not sure we can do a good job of supporting it across browsers.

I want to do the same as @roonie007, I did some research, and think it will be possible to convert the vtt into a json to modify the timestamps with javascript/jquery. This looks good too, http://www.sampingchuang.com/videojs-caption check "Advanced usage". Have to look more into that.
Edit: I see that the link I shared is using VJS 4.3, not 5+.

This works like a charm with standard HTML5 player.

I will try to make a plugin.
