TOV<p>There is a Google Summer of Code 2025 proposal that would improve playback controls and resovle persistent subtitle issues on iOS. The proposal would implement intuitive dynamic-length seeking based on swipe distance, allow users to set a custom default playback speed, fix critical subtitle bugs affecting size consistency of character rendering (e.g., Chinese), fix display/selection accuracy, and introduce a dual subtitle display feature.</p><p><a href="https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/programs/2025/projects/rl8VGD9d" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">summerofcode.withgoogle.com/pr</span><span class="invisible">ograms/2025/projects/rl8VGD9d</span></a></p><p><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/VLC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>VLC</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/iOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>iOS</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/GSoC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GSoC</span></a></p>
