Universal closed caption support is coming: 

 

Hopefully available to AndroidTV too! this is a must have for a Live TV.

Hi.  Yes, this will expand support in that app to when transcoding but our Android TV app already supports closed captions now as long as you aren't transcoding.

yeah, you're right! I figured out when I checked the settings. It's turned on but it's now showing. I guess I have similar case with this (caption is working with Plex)

I mean the caption settings is turned on but it's not working. If I use VLC (playing the m3u list) or Plex, there's 4 subtitle tracks available.

Ebr said it's already available on Android TV, and I can confirm that I can see this caption setting but not working at all.

My guess is it depends on which Android TV device you have I'm going to go out on a limb and say it's mainly for Nvidia Shield and possibly actual Google Android TV "Xiaomi Mi Box S device"

CC works on most if not all of my Android boxes using the Android TV version of Emby.

my emby version is tv.emby.embyatv(2.0.48g). my guess is that, even if it works with few tv sources (hdhomerun or??), it doesn't cover all of the cases.

Exactly what "setting" is that?  Can you show a screen shot?

Also, can you please play an item for a few seconds and then follow the instructions to send a log from the app?

played a stream for over a minutes and here's the logs logs.2021-12-11.tar

Additionally, you may also wanna see this. same live stream works great in VLC with caption (EIA-608). would be greatly appreciated if emby can fix it (I'm little bit frustrated because caption also works great in Plex's Live TV & DVR, but I prefer Emby to manage all of my medias.)

Hi.  I need you to follow the instructions in that article to send a log from the app.  Please only play for 5-10 seconds.

Does a "CC" button appear on the OSD during playback?  If so, what options are in it?
