Description
In Media3 version 1.4.0-alpha02, Google changed the way Text track Decoding/Rendering works. Depending on the Subtitle encoding, ExoPlayer is sometimes unable to show the subtitle text due to this new method.
Google provided a method of switching back to the Legacy method of Subtitle decoding/rendering if the user wants.
Please consider exposing this Media3 setting in the Bitmovin Player so that we can switch back to using the Legacy Text Decoding.
