Select a subtitle on load

[siuying]

Can I set subtitles programmatically? This is how I add subtitle:

var params = {url: "the-url", subtitles: {"English": "subs-url"}}
var player = new wjs("#player").addPlayer({ autoplay: true });
player.addPlaylist(params)

However, this would only add the subtitles to video, not activate them. User would have to manually select the subs from menu.

Adding subTrack() do not seems help (it would work if the video is loaded and i run it in console)

player.subTrack(1)

var params = {url: "the-url", subtitles: {"English": "subs-url"}},
    player = new wjs("#player").addPlayer({ autoplay: true }),
    firstTime = true;

player.onMediaChanged(function() { firstTime = true; });
player.onEnded(function() { firstTime = true; });
player.onStopped(function() { firstTime = true; });

player.onPlaying(function() {
    if (firstTime) {
        firstTime = false;
        player.subTrack(1);
    }
});

player.addPlaylist(params);

make sure you use the latest example code i posted in the comment (i changed it a few times), also there might be better ways to do it, this is just the first way I thought of..
