How to utilize videoShowSubtitles option?

[jonathan-sturges]

I see videoShowSubtitles in the Advanced Users section of the player2 UI, however I can't figure out what else is required and/or what media types and players this affects. For example, I tried enabling this flag and then put a .vtt file alongside an .mp4, but Chromium doesn't seem to utilize it. Thanks for any guidance.

The feature was built upon omxplayer which is obsolete now, with many OS changes happening in last few years, we had stopped working on this. We plan to work on this for chromium/vlc players in the coming 2-4 months.

Thank you! I look forward to the chromium & vlc updates.
