Hi! Thanks for reporting issue. We'll try to fix it as fast as possible.

I'm seeing the same issue - text tracks working on iOS, but not Android

The issue is in selection by title. if you use index or language, it is work (but OK, selection by title should also work). I will have a look

I just push a patch to fix the issue, if you want to have a look and test ?!

Thanks, I've copied the change into 6.4.5, but I've found that I still don't see the subtitles on Android. I've also tested using index, but that's not worked for me either. When I opened the DefaultTrackSelector source code in Android studio I did get a message that Library source does not match the bytecode for class. Could that be the root of the matter?

@personalnadir I think your android studio is not well synchronized with gradle. Please open the android folder on android studio and try to build your project with it. Another point, you should be able to test it with the sample/basic in the project....

@freeboub I've tried various combinations of Invalidating Caches, gradlew cleans and rebuilds as well as removing and reinstalling react-native-video and cannot get the Library source error to vanish or the subtitles to appear. Does build fine though

There seems to be other people who have that problem with Exoplayer https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/7394
