I've read the documentation

Your Feature Request

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Possibly, not sure if the current video player supports stylized subtitles.

Describe the solution you'd like

Adding support for stylized subtitles (For example RGB subtitles or where some parts show up in custom point on screen.)

Additional context

This should be already possible with yt-dlp as it can download stylized subtitles.
Best bet would be VTT subtitle format as it already supports HTML players

  • Yes I will work on this in the next few days or weeks.

Subtitles are directly uses in the full text index, adding additional things there like html tags is going to mess up search. Besides, I doubt that this is a widely used thing on youtube.

Unlikely that we will tinker with things like that anytime soon.
