public void setSelectedSubtitle(MediaSource mediaSource, String subtitle, Context context) {
MergingMediaSource mergedSource;
if (subtitle != null) {
Uri subtitleUri = Uri.parse(subtitle);

Format subtitleFormat = Format.createTextSampleFormat(
null, // An identifier for the track. May be null.
MimeTypes.TEXT_VTT, // The mime type. Must be set correctly.
Format.NO_VALUE, // Selection flags for the track.
"en"); // The subtitle language. May be null.

DefaultDataSourceFactory dataSourceFactory = new DefaultDataSourceFactory(context,
Util.getUserAgent(context, CLASS_NAME), new DefaultBandwidthMeter());


MediaSource subtitleSource = new SingleSampleMediaSource
.Factory(dataSourceFactory)
.createMediaSource(subtitleUri, subtitleFormat, C.TIME_UNSET);

mergedSource = new MergingMediaSource(mediaSource, subtitleSource);
player.prepare(mergedSource, false, false);
player.setPlayWhenReady(true);
//resumePlayer();

} else {
Toast.makeText(context, "there is no subtitle", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}

".vtt" subtitles? Never heard of that one before. All subtitle files I've encountered are either suffixed .srt or .ass.

I don't know this "exoplayer", but media players I've used, like VLC, Kodi, etc, can open subtitle file no problems when playing MKV etc. movies.

Also what's that code about? Bearing in mind I'm not a developer, so really can't help you with code.

I cannot help you with coding either, still try embeling them and disabling them first. I kind of forgot how to turn mine on my Moto edge, but with automatic ones on my Adult Swim app, I do not bother with them either as much.
