No Closed Captioning on Live broadcasts

[RickPaq 4]

Live broadcasts only have captioning on my android devices when Emby is loaded in a web browser or when using a 3rd party video player.  The Emby app internal player produces no closed captioning for OTA broadcasts.   Recorded videos play back captions fine in most cases. 

The only android exception is using the Emby app on a Google dongle.  That app plays the closed captioning on live OTA broadcasts just fine.

My equipment is as follows-

Samsung Note 20 Plus- App version 3.2.92

Kindle Fire-  App version 3.2.92

Samsung Galaxy Tab- App version 3.2.47  Issue is in both Dex and Android Mobile mode.

My server runs on Win 7, Version 4.7.11.0

Google Dongle app- 2.0.83G

Again, this is not a show stopper. Emby plays just fine with captions in any web browser so I suspect the problem is with the App internal player.  Let me know if you need more data from my server but I don't think this is a server issue.  I previously reported a similar issue with Roku playback but that problem mysteriously went away.

Not sure how to install it, but I noticed the other day that the captioning on my phone, for live broadcasts ARE ACTUALLY THERE, but the issue is that they are hidden under the video.  When playing a video with a slightly reduced width, you can actually see the captions on each edge of the video!   The captions need to be brought to the foreground on android devices so that they are displayed on top of the video content instead of behind it.  Hope that helps!
