  I played with subtitles a little at the weekend. This is what worked for me:
  
  rendered: function () {
  this.inherited(arguments);
  var video=this.$.player.getVideo().node;
  var track = document.createElement("track");
  track.srclang="en";
  track.label="English subtitle";
  track.src="http://192.168.64.5/test/sample.vtt";
  video.appendChild(track);
  t=video.textTracks[0];
  t.mode="showing";
  }
  
  It looks like WebOS only supports webvtt subtitles, not srt. So I had to edit (insert WEBVTT text into the first line) or convert my srt file to display it.

  I forgot to mention that normally to add track like this, you need the track file from the same origin as your document. So testing from a file doesn't work without disabling web-security in Chrome/Chromium. Or just run your document from a web server. It looks like it's not a problem in WebOS.

  I tried it with moon.VideoPlayer on a WebOS 2 TV.
  Only webvtt format works, you need to edit or convert to webvtt.
  One drawback is, that if there are internal subtitles in the file, the first is displayed also.
  I haven't tried media fragments yet.

  If your code is working fine in a browser, but not on WebOS, maybe you can try debugging on the TV.
  Here are the instructions how to do it:

  Or try to paste your code here, maybe someone spot an error.
