Feature request: support for custom caption rendering

[sampotts]

Expected Behavior

It would be awesome if there was a way that the player.js SDK could support custom caption rendering in that it's possible to call enableTextTrack while hiding the default/Vimeo rendering of captions and still getting cuechange events.

Actual Behavior

I've tried cc=false but while I can still get the tracks with getTextTracks, it's not possible to enable a textTrack and get cuechange events.

Steps to Reproduce

Will create a repro asap.

Is there any update here? @rkrishnan8594

Thanks for sharing this idea, @sampotts. I agree that this would be a nice feature for the SDK to support. I've converted this to a discussion as it's not a bug report, but I'll ensure this is added to our list of improvements to prioritize.

@rkrishnan8594, is there an update on this?

@xini - I'm optimistic that we'll be able to get to this feature request soon, hopefully within the next few weeks.
