i need to display the annotations for some of my downloaded youtube videos. It's also important to make them closeable. Making them clickable would also be nice.

What i found out so far:

From what i understand there there is a vlc plugin/extension that could also render the annotations but i'm having a hard time finding it. Mplayer might also be an option but i'd have to convert the xml files to .bmp and then use a bmov filter to play them.

Any suggestions welcome.

Edit: to further clarify i would like to display/overlay annotations from a youtube xml file (i'm willing to go through a conversion step if i have to) pretty much the same way i can display subtitles from a srt or sub file.

Edit2: I'm open to using other players too ( if vlc is not a feasible option for what i want)
