Description
When attempting to play an asset which contains a subtitles playlist that references multiple .vtt files (Example at the bottom) the subtitles are not properly fetched, and the following error is thrown:
Cue identifier needs to be followed by timestamp (cue #0)
In the node-webvtt package, this is the line that throws the error:
if (lines.length > 1 &&
!(lines[0].includes('-->') || lines[1].includes('-->'))) {
const msg = `Cue identifier needs to be followed by timestamp (cue #${i})`;
throw new ParserError(msg);
}
When playing the asset on an hls.js player that does not use node-webvtt, the issue is not encountered and the subtitles are successfully rendered.
Example subtitle playlist to reproduce the error:
#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-VERSION:3
#EXT-X-TARGETDURATION:9999
#EXT-X-MEDIA-SEQUENCE:0
#EXTINF:9999.000,
extracted_subtitles/subtitle_0.vtt
#EXTINF:9999.000,
extracted_subtitles/subtitle_1.vtt
#EXT-X-ENDLIST
Example subtitle playlist that works properly:
#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-TARGETDURATION:98
#EXT-X-VERSION:4
#EXT-X-MEDIA-SEQUENCE:0
#EXT-X-PLAYLIST-TYPE:VOD
#EXTINF:98.43200,
#EXT-X-BYTERANGE:265@0
main.webvtt
#EXT-X-ENDLIST
