[JetStreamCompose] External subtitles not displayed
According to the code, subtitles should be displayed by default if they are defined in movies.json
. And in the example there are this subtitles defined for every sample movie:
{
"id": "8daa7d22d13a9",
"videoUri": "http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/gtv-videos-bucket/sample/BigBuckBunny.mp4",
"subtitleUri": "https://thepaciellogroup.github.io/AT-browser-tests/video/subtitles-en.vtt",
and here is the code that loads the subtitles:
val exoPlayer = rememberExoPlayer(context)
LaunchedEffect(exoPlayer, movieDetails) {
exoPlayer.setMediaItem(
MediaItem.Builder()
.setUri(movieDetails.videoUri)
.setSubtitleConfigurations(
if (movieDetails.subtitleUri == null) {
emptyList()
} else {
listOf(
MediaItem.SubtitleConfiguration.Builder(Uri.parse(movieDetails.subtitleUri))
.setMimeType("application/vtt")
.setLanguage("en")
.setSelectionFlags(C.SELECTION_FLAG_DEFAULT)
.build()
)
}
).build()
)
exoPlayer.prepare()
}
But the subtitles are never displayed. Even if we enable default overlay (useController = true
), there is no option to enable subtitles there, like it never even loads them.
Is this some exoplayer issue or some problem with using it with compose? I tried to build the sample from the time this code was first added. But it doesn't work either.
