Track list as javascript variable

Hi All,

Firstly, I am using JW6, and trying to build a player using all JS variables. I am able to pass the stream url and placeholder image successfully, but I cannot get subtitles to work.

I am able to generate the JSON string correctly, this is the content of the variable "substring":

[{"file":"http://server.com/subtitles/english.srt","label":"English","kind":"captions"}]

And I generate the player like so:

jwplayer('player').setup({
file: durl,
tracks: substring,
image: bgurl,
width: '100%',
aspectratio: "16:9",
androidhls: 'true',
stretching: 'uniform',
autostart: 'true',
skin: 'glow'

});

But, when playback starts, there is no "CC" button

If I paste the actual string into the "tracks" line, all works fine, the CC button shows up and the subtitle files are loaded correctly

Is this possible at all, or am I missing something?
