I’ve been trying to get live closed captioning from my Wowza Stream Engine to work with no luck. My workflow is:
Imagine SelenioFlex Ingest
(rtmp with "CC Source for 608/708 DTVCC: From SDI Ancillary data with “Embed raw captions for Flash” enabled)
sent to
WOWZA STREAM ENGINE
*SETUP
Closed Caption Sources: onCaptioninfo events in live stream
(I’ve also tried Embedded CEA-608 captions in live stream)
*PROPERTIES
captionUndefinedLauguare - eng
ccingestCEA608EnabledField1 - true
ccingestCEA608EnabledField2 - false
ccingestCEA608LogCaptions - true
ccingestCEA608VerboseLogging - false
feeding a web version of the JWPlayer
JWPlayer (v.7) Enterprise
(I’ve confirmed that my licensed player supports captioning and I use the came one for VOD captioning with no problem)
So…
At this point I’m a a complete loss how to get my live captions to work and what I’m doing wrong
<div align="center" id="player" style="color:#999999;">Loading the player</div>
<script type="text/javascript"> var playerInstance = jwplayer('player');
playerInstance.setup({
sources: [{
