I am creating a website where will contain mkv videos with subtitles but the subtitles of the video do not appear, the video runs normally with audio but subtitles do not appear. From what I saw Chrome does not run mkv files, would there be any way to run them? I don’t have the subtitles separated so I need it to run without me having to embed the subtitles.
Html5 uses subtitles in format WEBVTT, subtitles in other formats do not work.

Wouldn’t you be able to run the video on the server and display it to the user? Using another language like python or Asp.net this would be possible?

I think you’re confusing front-end with back-end.

So it’s kind of impossible? Well if so I’ll try to convert the video with ffmpeg. Do you know any format I can keep the mkv caption?

unless the caption is actually video, you will not be able to maintain, the only format accepted in Html5 is vvt, maybe there is some program that converts the caption as being part of the video (decodes the video), then the caption would be part of the images, if you have subtitle SOURCE in another format there are converters that turns it into webvvt
