Subtitle functionality missing.

[krishnadrivemail]

I am using this media player to play videos from url and i also need to show captions but I am unable to do so.
How can we show subtitles using this media player?

This player doesn't support subtitles, and I currently have no plans on adding it.

Hi, Thanks for replying so fast. I have captions and slow motion requirements for my current project. Please can you tell me how to implement captions using this library or suggest a library that I can use for both captions and slow motion videos. Thanks and Regards, Krishna Agarwal

I can't give you details but I'd take a subtitle parsing library (or parse them myself), put the VideoView in a FrameLayout, add a TextView overlaying the ViewView for the subtitle display, and sync the subtitles to the video by periodically querying videoView.getCurrentPosition().

v4.4.0 adds a Cue API that can be used to set cue enter and exit points for subtitles and receive events instead of polling getCurrentPosition(). Subtitle parsing and rendering still needs to be implemented externally.
