So the video itself is working fine for me, but I am getting getting an error in the console when I try to activate the subtitles. There are a few minor issues with your WebVTT file, so make sure it passes validations and see if that fixes the issue.

Essentially, this is what your file should look like to be valid:

WEBVTT

00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:16.000
Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk,I'm a woman's man, no time to talk.

Any other idea?

[NeoCsatornaja]

what am I missing?!

after banging my head against the wall, finaly found the solution:

it does not work, if you embed the player from a remote site.
you need to download it and install it on your own server.

it does not work, if you embed the player from a remote site.

Do you mean that you're embedding the player via an iframe from another domain or something? If so, it makes sense, captions need correct CORS headers for that other domain to be able to pick it up.

[nAtic86]

haha, no. i did the mistake to embed it, like the official site told me to:

by linking those in the head tag

Subtitles being loaded from another domain is a known limitation. Sorry you had to dig to find that. It used to be called out in the embed builder at least, and needs to be added to the docs.

Loading the player javascript from a remote domain shouldn't be an issue, as long as the subtitles file is on the same domain as the html page it's being loaded into. In your last example that's not the case. The HTML page is golovtchiner.de and the subtitles file is on mblx.hu.

Yes, please update the doc ! I spent two hours trying to understand why the subtitles weren't working, it's because it need to be on the same server serving the html.
