Why is it Windows-only, since it’s based on VLC which is available on Windows/Mac OS/Linux/…?

We need the web plugin of VLC for fleex with the windowless mode. The plugin shipped with the 2.0.6 version of VLC works great on PC but have strong performance issues on the mac (in windowless mode). The VideoLAN team is working on it and as soon as this problem is fixed, fleex player will also be available for iOS. As for linux, we're just ignorant... We're looking for someone to package the app for us.

Thanks.

Why are you getting the subtitles from? Are they good quality? And have you licensed the subtitles legally?

Subtitles have to be licensed? Since when?

Since copyright. What on earth would make you think that subtitles are exempt from copyright? Song lyrics are copyrighted, screenplays are copyright, so are subtitles.
