Searching in Captions

I want to use JW Player for an internal video training project. The videos must reside within the company servers and many visitors don't have internet access. Thus, the video player should be on our own server too.

Each video will have captions for multiple languages. And one of the requirements is" text search in captions". User must be able to search for a word, and when one of the results is clicked, the video should skip to that moment.

Is this feature available in JW Player?

Hello,

This is not something we support out of box but our Labs section of the JW Player website does highlight something that you might be able to build upon: https://www.jwplayer.com/innovation/experiments/interactive-transcripts/ .

Essentially the player will read the transcript based on the associated text and highlight the current location. You might then be able to build on top of that to create some JS that taps into this to find a keyword and run the jwplayer().play() API call to play the content once again.

Hello,

how can I download and use this experiment? Simply saving the page didn't work for me.

Hello Mustafa,

You can simply view the page Source Code and copy the content there. Update the stream with your desired URL along with Captions/Thumbnails/etc. Just right click the browser here: https://s3.amazonaws.com/demo.jwplayer.com/iframes/interactive-transcript/index.html

Kindly,

Randy
