BIF and SRT/VTT support?

Question

Hello all:Has anyone had any luck with channels using Direct Publisher being able to display BIF files or CC files (SRT or VTT)?I ingest them fine via FEED STATUS, and all of the files have correct R/W permissions (housed in the same place as the media and image files).I've tried housing them on 2 different servers (Amazon S3, as well as my webserver) with no luck.Anyone?Thanks!

I have successfully used an SRT file from my JSON feed. The feed is stored with the file on S3 via CloudFront.

I'm attempting to use an SRT stored on S3 as well. It seems like ROKU recognizes the file is there (when I click * it comes up that there is an english closed caption file available) however I have yet to see the actual words appear on the screen. Not sure if I'm missing something...

My SRT still works from S3. The video has a French speaker. I set my Roku settings to "closed captioning" = on always, and, "captioning track" = English. I can now see the English translation at the bottom of the screen.

Make sure your SRT file is publicly accessible.

Same here, works fine from S3, though I do route mine via CloudFront.
