I’m currently experimenting with reading metadata from matroska-files in JS, like subtitles and audio-tracks. Been at it for some time now but everything seem deprecated and not working like intended. I’m pretty new to file-reading and such but I figure there must be a way since the information are in there.
I have a large mkv file 2gb-ish that contains several audio-tracks and subtitle-tracks. How in the world can I change the tracks in a browser, is it even possible? Surely it must be. There are no native method of doind this in <video>-tag. I’m using ReactPlayer and in the docs you can change subtitles, but then you need the subtitles-file (but, the subtitles are inside the file :mind-blown:)
So, anyone have experience with these kind of stuff in nodeJS or just plain JS?

I’ve tried numerous of packages from npm but none of them seem to work like intended. Or i’m just to novice to understand how to use them correctly.
