How to play media overlay (For read aloud feature) using swift toolkit

[sourabhzelus]

Hello @mickael-menu ,
I am integrating swift-toolkit to display the fixed layout and reflowable Epub files.Currently I am working on fixed layout pub and the files are opened successfully. But the media overlay are not working, the SMIL files inside the epub. Hence unable to activate read aloud feature.

Please suggest how I can run the media overlays using our library to activate read aloud feature.

Waiting for your response

Regards

Media overlays are not yet supported in the Readium toolkit. We plan to add support for it early 2023.

hello @mickael-menu is media overlay still planned for 2024?

Unfortunately I don't think we'll be able to tackle media overlays this year on the mobile toolkits.

Ok, thanks a lot @mickael-menu.

@mickael-menu Is there any open issue or discussion ticket for adding media overlay support to your mobile toolkit that would allow interested users to follow development status and be notified of progress updates?
