Description

Expected behavior of the wanted feature

It seems there is no support for loading the subtitle file piece by piece using a named pipe. At least the option --sub-file seems to expect the whole file at once.

Research direction

Start by tracing how the --sub-file option is parsed and how subtitle input is loaded. Investigate the existing subtitle-loading path and named-pipe behavior; done means a subtitle file supplied through a named pipe can be consumed piece by piece during a livestream rather than requiring the complete file first.
