Right. The local playback itself seems to be working (thank you!), though it’s showing the subtitle issue, thus in the grand scheme of things, it’s not actually working right now.
I see! Thank you for looking into this, but I was also able to replicate the issue when navigating directly into the library with that particular episode, and attempting the playback from there – it’s the same as playing from the Continue Watching tab, that is – on the episode overview screen, I can see the subtitles listed, but as soon as playback (using a local file) starts, the subtitles are nowhere to be found, neither in the Playback Settings screen nor are they showing in the video.
I switched my phone to English this time, and re-recorded the demonstration, trying three different approaches:
- playback from the Continue Watching tab plays the local file as expected, but without subtitles
- playback from the library plays the local file as expected, but still without subtitles
- playback from the Downloads section plays the local file and with subtitles, but without triggering my webhooks, so… still not a solution for me, I’m sorry.
The re-recorded video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxHhZ176acc
By the way, isn’t the fact that the subtitles are embedded in the Matroska container (rather than a separate file – thus pretty much have to be downloaded to the mobile device – surely the subtitle track is not de-muxed out of the Matroska file just before the download, right?) an indication that it’s the iOS app problem, somehow not detecting the subtitles being present in the video file/container on the video player screen only?
