Showing subtitle on Exoplayer (Leanback)

💬 Questions and Help

Hello,

Previously I was using Xam.Plugins.Android.ExoPlayer.Leanback version 2.11.8. I was able to load the subtitles using the following code

` var subtitleView = RequireActivity().FindViewById(Resource.Id.leanback_subtitles) as SubtitleView;

    var style = new CaptionStyleCompat(
        Color.White,
        Color.Transparent,
        Color.Transparent,
        CaptionStyleCompat.EdgeTypeDropShadow,
        Color.Black,
        Typeface.Default!);

    var subtitleSize = GlobalSettings.GetFloat(GlobalSettings.KeySubtitleSize);

    if (subtitleSize != null)
    {
        subtitleView?.SetFixedTextSize((int)ComplexUnitType.Sp, subtitleSize.Value);
    }

    subtitleView?.SetApplyEmbeddedStyles(false);
    subtitleView?.SetStyle(style);

    if (subtitleView != null)
    {
        var textComponent = _player.TextComponent;
        textComponent.AddTextOutput(subtitleView);
    }

`

Now after upgrading to version 2.18.9 I am not able to call textComponent.AddTextOutput(subtitleView); Seems like AddTextOutput function isn’t available anymore. Can anyone please help how can I make subtitles work.

Thanks

@ArchangelWTF yes it worked with the List<Cue> exposed and setting it by calling subtitleView.SetCues. Would you be able to merge your changes and update the nuget package?

@isaranghi Did you manage to get this working yet?
