Here is our test page with live HLS streaming and Enterprise licence (http://mtbetany.iqm2.com/Scripts/jwplayer/testjw.html). As you see we added VTT closed captions file, but it dosnt work, but it works for VOD.

Ohh sorry about that – I realized that you are talking about a livestream. VTT is not supported with livestreams. Captions can, however, be done with 608 captioning for livestreams:
