while playing video on a Video node, when the user switches the subtitle using the * key, how can i capture that change?

Interesting behaviour: I am using RAF to play ads, once the ads are played the subtitle resets! 
steps: start video -> press * and change the subtitle (say from eng to spanish)-> let the video continue and -> mid rolls are played -> returned to player and then observed that the subtitles has reset to English!

this is how i am setting up my player initially:
            Subtitle_TracksArray.push({"TrackName":url1,"Description":name})
            Subtitle_TracksArray.push({"TrackName":url2,"Description":name})
            ContentNode_object.SubtitleTracks = Subtitle_TracksArray

where url is the url of the .srt file

any idea why this is getting reset after ads playback??

I don't have any help to offer regarding RAF aspect, which may well be a bug, but I wonder if you might want to set the Language attribute for each if your tracks, if you have that information. If the second track has Language:"spa" to indicate Spanish, for example, if the user selects that it should make Spanish the default closed caption language. On subsequent playback that track would be selected automatically.

Thanks for the info, had to set the 3 digit language codes to make it persist!

So is there any other way to set the global language captions settings from the app, as we can set ON/OFF/Replay?
