No closed captions from HLS live stream

Open ofrzeta opened this issue 5 years ago • 7 comments

Browser: 68.12.0esr (64-bit)

OS: CentOS

Clappr Version: 0.4.1

Steps to reproduce:

Closed captions embedded in an HLS live stream don't work. No CC button is shown. It does work with the same stream on Clappr 0.3.12. Test stream is https://cdn.techcast.com/test/definst/amlst:caption-test/playlist.m3u8 I tried to make it work with the hlsjs-playback.min.js

Did you try to reproduce this issue at http://cdn.clappr.io/ yes, doesn't work either (also using hlsjs-playback.min.js or not)

So so .. :) It doesn't really solve the problem but at least provides some pointers to debug, so thanks!

Hi @ofrzeta, I think this PR should fix your problem.

@ofrzeta The reported problem still happens?

I didn't have the opportunity to check back then because the fix wasn't in a Clappr release and now unfortunately I no longer have a source with closed captions, sorry.

This issue is fixed, sort of, but HLS caption support is still buggy in Clappr 0.4.3. The CC button will appear in the player if your HLS master playlist includes the optional attribute DEFAULT=YES in at least one of the subtitles EXT-X-MEDIA tags. There are issues if you use multiple languages though.
