SABU is a pretty polished app for iOS: http://forum.koohii.com/showthread.php?p...#pid219028.
FluentU's interface is well-thought-out, and you can bet they're working on licensing anime to use to teach its users, instead of stupid Youtube clips. http://www.fluentu.com/
IMO HTML5/Javascript is the better approach, so keep at it. The Chrome issue is readily worked around by starting a webserver in the directory of the HTML file at some port like 8080 and going to http://localhost:8080/videoplayer_test.html (CivetWeb is an easy recommendation, but if you have Python, it's trivial to just run, from that directory at the command prompt, `python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8080`, no special modules needed since SimpleHTTPServer ships with Python). I'm surprised Firefox lets you run Javascript with "file:///" URLs.
What would be great is if you could edit the SRT file and embed what "sense" of a dictionary entry is being used, any corrections, etc., and a SHA1 checksum of the video file it goes with, so that you could share the SRT files with fellow learners.
I'm working on all this with a colleague for a language-learning-related project… so much to do.
