I’ve been trying to get live closed captioning from my Wowza Stream Engine to work with no luck. My workflow is:

Imagine SelenioFlex Ingest  
(rtmp with "CC Source for 608/708 DTVCC: From SDI Ancillary data with “Embed raw captions for Flash” enabled)

_sent to_

WOWZA STREAM ENGINE

\*_SETUP_  
Closed Caption Sources: onCaptioninfo events in live stream  
(I’ve also tried Embedded CEA-608 captions in live stream)

\*_PROPERTIES_  
captionUndefinedLauguare - eng  
ccingestCEA608EnabledField1 - true  
ccingestCEA608EnabledField2 - false  
ccingestCEA608LogCaptions - true  
ccingestCEA608VerboseLogging - false

feeding a web version of the JWPlayer

JWPlayer (v.7) Enterprise  
(I’ve confirmed that my licensed player supports captioning and I use the came one for VOD captioning with no problem)

So…

At this point I’m a a complete loss how to get my live captions to work and what I’m doing wrong

```auto
<div align="center" id="player" style="color:#999999;">Loading the player</div>
<script type="text/javascript"> var playerInstance = jwplayer('player');

playerInstance.setup({
   
sources: [{
