Audio/Subtitle Streams
Reference for adding audio or/and subtitle tracks.
- Audio Tracks: Allows delivering video with one or more audio streams in different languages.
- Subtitle Tracks: Allows delivering video with one or more subtitle streams (refers to the text on the screen for translation purposes) in different languages.
Gumlet transcodes and delivers audio or/and subtitle streams present in the video container. In addition to that,
we also provide the functionality to add audio/subtitle streams into Gumlet for transcoding and delivery via API.
Audio stream file needs to be in any of the following formats: mp3, opus, flac, wav, ac3, m4a, aac.
Subtitles need to be either a SRT or WebVTT file.
These tracks can be added via Gumlet API using the additional_tracks parameter (in Create Asset POST request) which takes an array of Object with the following fields.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| url | URL or web address of a file that Gumlet should download to add a stream. |
| type | Type of additional track. Value can be either audio or subtitle. |
| language_code | The language code value represents the BCP 47 specification compliant value. For example, en for English. |
| name | The name of the track containing a human-readable description. |
Except for the name field, all parameters are required.
