Example of VTT format



Note: In Video Block v 4.13  he caption file needs to be stored in the Media Folder of the app and access by name needs to be checked.



IMPORTANT:


1 Captions need to be set

Caption / Subtitles need to be turned on at the Android level (not the app level) for Caption to work.

How to turn on Caption on Android:

- On most devices

then. Subtitle settings, 


then check Google subtitles



2 Setting app needs to be close 

On Samsung devices, there is a bug in Android preventing Caption to run if the setting app is also running. Close the setting app for caption to run.



3 Play / Pause

On Samsung devices, In some cases the video needs to be paused then played again for caption to show. (We are still investigating why that it)
