Is there API to display subtitles
#1
A question is easy - is there any API to display OSD the same way subtitles displayed, but the text not being subtitles? Any custom text any time over video for some seconds?
I'll explain the need, for example I want to make an addon to watch game streams like twitch or any other game streaming service, which are quite popular now, and I want to make chat to be displayed onscreen the same way subtitles displayed over a movie. That would be very nice feature for game streams.
I searched a lot in google and this forum, and didn't find anything like I want. So if there is the API, can somebody lead me, or if not, can somebody tell me are there plans?

No, but you can make a custom script to do that
