Describe the requested feature
Hiello Flet dev team,
First of all, thank you for the excellent work on Flet and the Video control.
While ASS/SSA subtitles are already supported, the current rendering appears to be fairly basic and does not fully utilize the rich styling capabilities that make ASS such a powerful subtitle format.
It would be amazing to see more complete ASS/SSA rendering support, including features such as:
- Advanced font styling
- Borders, shadows, and blur effects
- Precise positioning and movement (
\pos, \move)
- Scaling and rotation
- Karaoke effects (
\k, \kf, \ko)
- Transformations and animations (
\t)
- Complex typesetting and on-screen signs
These capabilities are widely used in anime, foreign-language media, educational content, and professionally typeset subtitles where presentation is an important part of the viewing experience.
Full-fledged ASS support would significantly enhance the Video control and make Flet a more compelling choice for media-focused applications. Many developers evaluating frameworks for video-centric projects consider subtitle quality an important feature, and stronger ASS rendering would be a notable advantage.
Is improved ASS/SSA rendering on the roadmap, or would the maintainers be open to contributions in this area?
Thank you!

While ASS subtitles are supported, the current implementation appears to expose only basic subtitle styling. Since Flet Video is powered by media_kit (which uses MPV on native platforms), I guess Flet could expose advanced libass/ASS rendering capabilities such as embedded fonts, karaoke effects, positioning, transformations, animations, signs/typesetting, and renderer configuration options.
