srt-to-vtt's Issues

Hello sir, I used this package to convert this SRT file (please check attachment), but it returns a VTT file with blank content. It worked with the other SRT files I have, but not working with this one. Thanks in advance if there's any solution or workaround to fix it.

FYI, I use the tool called SubtitleEdit to create this SRT file.

Adding binaries for easier intergration in projects

I was developing an application in Python, and I needed to use srt-to-vtt, I installed it and it worked just fine. The problem was that distributing my app was impossible, as the users would have to install node, npm and srt-to-vtt separately. So I packaged bin.js into executables for all major platforms, and used them instead. Could you add them to your 1.1.1 release, to help any others that might need this? I have uploaded them in that release inside my fork. Thanks!

Getting codepage error

Edit: Repo confusion.

send data to Blob?

How to do this ?

 const stream = new Readable();
                    stream._read = () => {};
                    stream.push(data);
                    stream.on("finish", chunk => {

                        url = window.URL.createObjectURL(new Blob([chunk], {type: 'text/vtt'}));

                    });
                    stream.pipe(srt2vtt());

Missing ending line

When the last caption line does not have an empty line the entire caption is missing.

Check test file in #3

if the last lines ends in single 0A the entire line is skipped, but if its 0A 0A its converted

Detect input (.srt) file encoding

.srt files come from different sources, and there is no rule (or declaration) on character encoding, so its very common to find latin1(iso-8859-1 / cp1252) encoded files.

But vtt MUST BE UTF-8 encoded.

When input file (using CLI) is a latin1 the output file is not correctly encoded
