This property specifies or retrieves a value indicating the language displayed for closed captioning.

Syntax

MediaPlayer.SAMILang

Possible Values

This property is a read/write String. If no language is specified, the default behavior is for closed captioning to display the first language defined in the Synchronized Accessible Media Interchange (SAMI) file.

A SAMI file can contain text for one or many languages. The languages available for closed captioning are defined between the <STYLE> and </STYLE> tags in the SAMI file. A language can be specified by any unique alphanumeric string that is preceded by a period. For example, .ENUSCC could be used to define US English.
