How to handle EIA_608 subtitles / closed captions?
See original GitHub issueI recently observed some of my videos have subtitles with the codec EIA_608 embeded. These aren’t seem to be processed by SMA. They show as Unknown (Closed Captions) in Plex for example.
Is there a way to let SMA process them? Either ignore them, like you can with other subtitle formats, tag them with default language tag, or, if possible with ffmpeg, transcode them to srt.

Let me know if you encounter any issues with other files with these same kind of subtitles. I made some assumptions about how the side data type can be read to identify the presence of the bitstream that may need to be adjusted if other files have different data
Closing this out!
Amazing, works as intended!
