Is karaoke captions still supported by JWPlayer


Is karaoke captions still supported by JWPlayer? I tried adding a youtube auto-generated captions(karaoke style) in jwplayer and its not able to render properly.

Do I need to enable this or is it not supported??

I have found only 1 reference to this: http://www.jwplayer.com/labs/experiments/karaoke-player/ but the link doesn't works.

Hi,

Karaoke captions are not supported in our player. We support WebVTT, SRT, DFXP captions. Here is a document with more information: https://support.jwplayer.com/customer/portal/articles/1407438-adding-closed-captions

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for the prompt reply.

Just one more clarity, the karaoke captions are VTT, so it also wont work?

You are welcome. VTT captions are supported. Please be sure to implement them as .vtt files and they should work. There is a code example in the document I sent you in my previous email. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
