Good to see you here, Devin.

If your app can handle the RAM hit of embedding a browser app instance with the Browser Widget, and if you can extract the text track info from QT's proprietary format, HTML supports text tracks nicely via the WebVTT standard:

In the LC player object you can still see that there is a text track with `put 
the tracks of player 1`. But there doesn’t seem to be a way anymore to show 
text tracks, either in the player object or in QT Player. All of the hits I get 
on the topic in a DuckDuckGo search are 15 - 20 years old.

Anybody know how to show, or at least recover, old text tracks from video files?

(Man I hate it when the technology gets *less* capable!)
