Our subtitles are SRT, which is not supported by native HTML5 players, which is what we are using on those platforms.
As part of T100106, i'm looking into converting the subtitles to standard HTML5 VTT subtitles.

This too is fixed with videoJS, but we need to be careful with changes due to T246035
