In Android 4.8.0, we created a new getter for caption rendering and addressed several bugs.

New Features

• A new getter, JWPlayer.isCaptionsRendering(), has been created that checks if the caption rendering is on/off.
• Captions scale with the player size. When playing the video on a larger surface, the size of the captions will scale according based on the new height of the JWPlayerView.
• Caption position responds more accurately and reliably to resizing of the JWPlayerView.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue when not using background audio, even with autostart enabled, playback would not begin when the player is backgrounded.
• Fixed an issue when replacing or removing a JWPlayerFragment would not tear down correctly.
• Fixed an issue where the ad does not play when the fragment was visible (either on the back stack or in the background).
