Problem/Motivation

Transcript display, including interactive synced transcript, is a feature of Able Player, but there is no specific mention of transcript capability in the d.o description of this module, or in the README.md, or in the UI when editing a video media. From issues such as https://www.drupal.org/project/ableplayer/issues/3050827 β†’ and https://www.drupal.org/project/ableplayer/issues/3351115 ✨ Display Transcript Container by Default Active it is somehow possible to achieve an interactive transcript, but it's not clear how.

(I have achieved interactive transcript, but only by adding markup directly into the ableplayer-video.html.twig file to trigger ableplayer behaviours.)

Proposed resolution

Please expand README.md with notes describing how to achieve transcript support in Able Player module.
* Perhaps a field description could be added to "Ableplayer Media Caption" field mentioning that a vtt file loaded here can be used for interactive transcript.
* Is it possible to show a transcript for default language? e.g. /admin/config/regional/language only defines a single language.
