Subtitles not working

Jump to solution
I'm implementing subtitles in an app. I'm using the standard approach of setting the video content subtitleConfig with the relevant data. I'm using vtt files. However, I'm not seeing any subtitles appearing. I then created a simple app app just consisting of a video component. I used exactly the same video content as the real app, and the subtitles displayed. Can anyone suggest what could be happening? Regards Andy

Aha, I discovered the issue, apparently the video node width was set to 1281 instead of 1280. As a result this stopped the subtitles from displaying!!!

Embeded subtitles in mp4 are not working. Subtitles work when played on VLC.  Subtitles work on my old WDTV Live.  What is the solution? Playback is from media server WD My Cloud

Thank you
