Does anyone know how to stream .vtt or .srt to chromecast with this plugin? I tried about anything but it doesn't work when casting..

Hello, what is your code sample ?

Having a VTT track tag breaks Chromecast plugin:

The root cause is that the present plugin v2.0.8 code does NOT respond to your track tag/element, if you have attribute " kind='subtitles' ". So, a simple WORKAROUND for this issue is simply to change your attribute to be " kind='captions' ". (The launching button-text will show up as 'CC' instead of 'SUBTITLES', but you will achieve the desired functionality that you're wanting.)
