WebVTT cue timing line parsing: hour digit count · case 05

Cues after hour 99 in long recordings fail to parse.

Member previewVariant 5 · 3 implementations · 9 checks per implementation

Case contract

Parse "START --> END [settings...]" (whitespace separated). Timestamps are [hh:]mm:ss.ttt with hours of two or more digits, minutes and seconds exactly two digits below 60, and exactly three fraction digits after a period. END must be after START. Return [start_ms,end_ms,settings joined by single spaces] or None.

Why this case matters

Subtitle timing defects shift, hide or overlap captions that viewers depend on for comprehension and accessibility.
