Hi team,

Our requirement for using the new Azure Media Service v3 is to display multiple text tracks (closed captions) on the video player. However, after conducting some thorough testing, I have only been able to display one IMSC1 track despite uploading two text tracks.

Question: How can I display multiple captions in this case?

Note: After reading through the azuremediaplayer.min.js file (available at this link: https://amp.azure.net/libs/amp/latest/azuremediaplayer.min.js ), I discovered that it only supports one IMSC1 caption.

I am unsure of the reason for this limitation, and I am wondering if multiple IMSC1 captions will be supported in the future.

    Hi @Quan Pham Cong Thank you for reaching out. It is a known issue for Azure Media Player only support one IMSC1 caption at the current stage. But you could use the same way to add track and playback with players support multiple IMSC1 captions such as HLS.js.
