Re: programming difficulties with addcue

This is not really the right list to post this to, but since we have an
interest in inter-operable implementations, I'll indulge you.

Which IE version did you use? I just discovered that Longtail did some
analysis on what track features are supported in which browser, see
http://www.longtailvideo.com/html5/scripting/ . It seems while IE10
supports the <track> element, it does not support the JavaScript API to
create tracks.

On Chrome it worked for me perfectly. Since you didn't actually tell it to
display the track, all it does is created the list. You need to add:
        myTextTrack.mode = "showing";

HTH.

Silvia.
