SRT captions embed youtube

I'd like to use youtube and the tracks object to embed captions into a jw video. Captions won't work for the code I'm using. Here is my example code. I have left out some parts for privacy's sake.

bc.. <script src="http://jwpsrv.com/library/MY_CODE_HERE.js"></script>
<div id='player'></div>
<script type='text/javascript'>

jwplayer('player').setup({
playlist: [{
file: 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOUTUBE_',
tracks: [{
file: "output.srt",
label: "English",
kind: "captions"
}]
}]
});
</script>



What am I doing wrong?

I'm running the player from a folder on my desktop. We would like to implement it to our Moodle server, but I want to test it out first.

Put it on a test page that I can view so I can debug it.

Here is a test - nothing displays

Captions don't work; doesn't work at all in IE.

It's most likely because you are using a cloud hosted JW instance, and there is no "crossdomain.xml" back on "http://training-source.org/"

If you try self hosting, it is likely work.

or

If you add a "crossdomain.xml" it is likely to work.

Never used Jet. However Opera does not have much a market share…
