var  = TextTrack.addCue(cue);

Parameters

cue

Data-type: String

Examples

using addCue in javascript and setting several properties:

myTextTrack = myPlayer.addTextTrack( 'subtitles','myLabel','en' );
var cue0 = new TextTrackCue(516.517,531.532, 'it had become much easier after the so called united resistance movement');
cue0.id = 'cue0';
cue0.pauseOnExit = false;
myTextTrack.addCue(cue0);

myTextTrack.mode = "showing";

This addCue does NOT work, but should. Several things go wrong. First of all, it does not recognize the percent sign. Secondly, the cue text is an html symbol, which is not interpreted as html.

var cue1 = new TextTrackCue(3.300,13.130, '&8594;');
cue1.id = 'cue1';
myTextTrack.addCue(cue1);
cue1.line = '50%';
cue1.position = '25%';
