Hello Ramesh,

JW Player does not currently support the webvtt attributes you are asking for as standard captions. They are currently only supported in HTML5 video tags.

However I did put together a small hack here:

Totally not the way to do it, but just as demo, it was fun to build. Enjoy!

Let me know if you need anything else.

My demo illustrated the position:5% align:start capabilities of HTML5, I’m too sure what you’re trying to build. Could you please send me the test page that is having the issue? Keep it as simple as possible, just the jw player embed.

I believe you should stick to supported file types:
Caption Docs:

http://support.jwplayer.com/customer/en/portal/articles/1407438-adding-closed-captions

Here’s a test page using mp3 and dfxp subtitles.

George, your little hack works great, but when I try to use it with my jwplayer in local, with my key, it appears invalid license key error message.

How can this small hack can be used in local, with your jwplayer platform library jwplayer?

It would be very interestign to align left or right the captions for 3D videos, which could be seen with jw player with a VR cardboard. The captions in the center would not be useful
