Hi @brianwernick , Do you support srt subtitle rendering?

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

Any time frame when this will be released?

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:

Abstract the listener away from the ExoPlayer implementation of Cue
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

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!!
