Subtitle and the future of the Player control

I'm doing some coding around videos and transcripts. Before diving in I
thought I'd see if there is any existing code out there? I'm working on
creating transcripts from videos we shoot for a community project -
naturally using ai (whisper) to do that - but Livecode to edit the
transcript and make the final output interactive.

I'd like to stick to SRT standards, and be able to display the text track
with the video playing and to click and interact with it under Livecode
control.

Given the future of the video player seems to be more focussed on an HTML5
player - I'm wondering if it worth the effort of scripting this in Livecode
- or I should build on one of the opensource javascript players?
