getTextTrack

Description

Get information about the text track currently set. null if no audio track is enabled right now.

If a text track is set and information about it is known, this method will return an object with the following properties:

• id (Number|string): The id used to identify this track. No other text track for the same Period will have the same id.

  This can be useful when setting the track through the setTextTrack method.

• language (string): The language the text trac./../Basic_Methods/loadVideo.md#transport set in the Manifest.

• normalized (string): An attempt to translate the language property into an ISO 639-3 language code (for now only support translations from ISO 639-1 and ISO 639-3 language codes). If the translation attempt fails (no corresponding ISO./../Basic_Methods/loadVideo.md#transport found), it will equal the value of language

• label (string|undefined): A human readable label that may be displayed in the user interface providing a choice between text tracks.

  This information is usually set only if the current Manifest contains one.

• closedCaption (Boolean): Whether the track is specially adapted for the hard of hearing or not.

• forced (Boolean): If true this text track is meant to be displayed by default if no other text track is selected.

  It is often used to clarify dialogue, alternate languages, texted graphics or location and person identification.

undefined if no text content has been loaded yet or if its information is unknown.
