Since subtitles are not supported for smooth streaming with silverlight player, what are the steps to create custom handlers on wowza for this. My initial guess is to create a reader to parse the subtitle file (for our case it is a dfxp file) but I am stuck at how I can provide chunks of this file to the player. Which interfaces/classes should I override and what are the necessary configuration changes?

Thanks.

We don’t have any guidance for this. I’m not sure what to suggest.
