Dear Zahid,

     Thank you for writing to us. I have verified the Closed Caption asset crashing with our SkinPlayer Sample application and SDK/Player version are same as you mentioned in your ticket.

Ooyala SDK version = 4.31.1_RC4

Exo player version = r2.5.3

The Closed Caption is working fine with our Application and there is no crash or CC issue during the content plays in the device. 

Could you please share the below;

1. Embed Code of the Asset that you are trying to Play which has CC enabled. /Reason: Possible CC file issue.

2. The application builds for us to debug the crash.

Thanks

Carrie

Carie, I've been encountering this same app crash error. It has been almost 2 weeks now since i've sent the cc file and error logs via email and haven't got any response from support yet :/ Can you please help me??

Hi,

Please check this Ooyala Player Test Page link CC are not showing but same video show caption on iOS and Android. I have tested on BasicPlaybackSampleApp Android sample app. BasicPlaybackSampleApp (and also my Android app) crashes when I enable CC and switch to full-screen mode (by pressing button).
