Convert WebVTT to JSON, optionally removing duplicate lines

## Installation

Install this tool using `pip`:

    pip install webvtt-to-json

## Usage

To output JSON for a WebVTT file:

    webvtt-to-json subtitles.vtt

This will output to standard output. Use `-o filename` to send it to a specified file.

Subtitles can often include duplicate lines. Add `-d` or `--dedupe` to attempt to remove those duplicates from the output:

    webvtt-to-json --dedupe subtitles.vtt

Use `-s` or `--single` to output single `"line"` keys instead of a `"lines"` array.

You can also use:

    python -m webvtt_to_json ...

## Output

Standard output:

```json

[

    {

        "start": "00:00:00.000",

        "end": "00:00:01.829",

        "lines": [

            " ",

            "my<00:00:00.160> career<00:00:00.480> in<00:00:00.640> side<00:00:00.880> projects<00:00:01.280> and<00:00:01.520> open"

        ]

    }

]

```

`--dedupe` output:

```json

[

    {

        "start": "00:00:01.829",

        "end": "00:00:01.839",

        "lines": ["my career in side projects and open"]

    }

]

```

`--dedupe --single` output:

```json

[

    {

        "start": "00:00:01.829",

        "end": "00:00:01.839",

        "line": "my career in side projects and open"

    }

]

```
