Description

It doesn't appear that CEA-608 captions are supported even though exoplayer 1 does.

Are there any plans to support these captions for HLS streams? The FCC requires we support captioning for livestreams that were broadcast on television.

Research direction

Start by examining how this Java Fire App Builder handles HLS playback and how its ExoPlayer 1 integration relates to caption support. Confirm whether CEA-608 captions can be rendered for HLS livestreams, and define done as those captions being supported and verified against the stated livestream captioning requirement.
