Aaaah! Why should a remote application be involved? It sounds completely unneeded to limit this to a web browser running software controlled by others.

Just let the user select a media file and provide keyboard controlled playback controls plus a text editor. I think some software like this is available for subtitle editing.

Thanks for calling me out on that. With that comment, I basically lowered the quality of a discussion that I started (being the poster), and for that I apologize.
