Subtitle support

[bogab]

Hi @brianwernick ,
Do you support srt subtitle rendering?

[brianwernick]

Not currently, though this is something that should probably be slated for the 3.x track

[bogab]

Any time frame when this will be released?

[brianwernick]

Sadly no. I've been pretty busy with work lately and since this will be after the 3.0 release I can't say for certain.

An initial implementation has been added in https://github.com/brianwernick/ExoMedia/tree/issue-115_subtitle_callbacks however I would like to to 2 things before it is merged:

1. Abstract the listener away from the ExoPlayer implementation of Cue
2. Add support for TimedTextListener for the MediaPlayer instances (only for API 16+)

Adding something like subtitle support is quite a large task but I hope to get it implemented (at least with a basic level) for the 3.1 release

Hi Brian.
Do you support subtitle in 3.0.5 release ?

Any news on this? Would love to have this functionality.

[brianwernick]

I haven't had time to work on ExoMedia much lately so this will most likely be in a post 4.0 release

I'm testing with a HLS with integrated subtitles, firstly i did not get any callback onCues, but currently i'm able to get text from the onCues implementation (the listeners are all right ☺). What i've got to do the trick is at the constructor of EmExoplayer, by modifyng as follows:

player.setSelectedTrack(RENDER_TIMED_METADATA, RENDER_TIMED_METADATA);

I'd like more info about the way to get the subtitle track of a available language to keep developing on it. Thanks for this branch!!

@brianwernick does the video support closed caption/subtitle now?

Do you have news of subtitle support srt / closed caption?
The work you are doing is fantastic.

[brianwernick]

Sadly I have no additional news on the progress of sub/cc (or 5.0 in general) :(

[netomx]

Is there a chance that we can donate for this request to have priority?

Thanks!

There is now a sample in the demo app on how to get closed captions for video playback.
