Implementing closed captions with kendomediaplayer

Hi,

I am trying to show closed captions of a youtube video that's embedded into the kendo mediaplayer in my web application. Any pointers to help with that would be helpful. I've looked online with youtube's documentation as well as kendo's documentation and couldn't find any solutions that work. 

 

Thank you,

Roop Singh

Is this the only way to add captions to the video? This seems like there would be a manual component in here for the vtt files to be generated for youtube embedded videos. To give more context, I have a list of youtube links that could be added to the database and i'm embedding that youtube video on the page based on the link in the database. I would have to generate a vtt file for those videos manually if i use this technique. Is there an easier way to just bring over the subtitles from youtube. Youtube already has a closed captions option available. I just need to be able to provide that option to the users to turn the subtitles on and off or switch to the languages available in that specific youtube video. I really appreciate your help on this.

Thank you,

Roop Singh

Hi Roop,

Thank you for the details provided.

The subtitles captions could be added as follows:

        $(document).ready(function () {

            $("#mediaplayer").kendoMediaPlayer({
                media: {
                    title: "Recap of Progress Ringing The Bell at Nasdaq (2016)",
                    source: ""
                }
            });
          
              var vid = $('#mediaplayer video');
        			vid.removeAttr('src');
        			vid.append('<source src="video.ogg" />');
        			vid.append('<track label="English subtitles" kind="subtitles" srclang="en" src="subtitles.vtt" default="">')
        });
The following forum thread answer provides further information and an example:

Please keep in mind, it is necessary to run the sample through a live server in order to access the static files.

I hope this information helps. Give a try to the approach above and let me know if further information or assistance is needed.

Kind Regards,
