RTL is not handled in video AND cc. See https://beaufortfrancois.github.io/sandbox/media/video-rtl.html
Track {1,2,3} should be right aligned.

fbeaufort@, do you have more information about what you think should happen here? Is the issue only the alignment of the items on the text track list menu?
I was also thinking about having the "Play" button with a direction from right to left as in http://littlebigdetails.com/post/7727567604/cnnarabic-even-the-play-button-has-direction


CNN arabic and Al Jazeera both have fairly common video controls UI:
- https://arabic.cnn.com/travel/2017/07/04/tr-030717-denver-jet-catches-fire
- http://www.aljazeera.net/news/arabic/2017/7/4/%D8%A7%D8%AA%D8%B5%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A7%D8%AA-%D8%AF%D8%A8%D9%84%D9%88%D9%85%D8%A7%D8%B3%D9%8A%D8%A9-%D9%88%D8%AF%D9%88%D9%84-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AD%D8%B5%D8%A7%D8%B1-%D8%AA%D8%AF%D8%B1%D8%B3-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B1%D8%AF-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%82%D8%B7%D8%B1%D9%8A

(not sure why Chrome doesn't want to copy the arabic text from the URL...)

I couldn't find a text track menu in an arabic website but so far, I don't see anything obvious we could change.
Both links you've linked to are respectively Theoplayer and Brightcove, from 2 US-based companies ;(

For info, Spotify placed rewind and forward buttons from right to left, and the progress bar has been reversed as well. See screenshot attached.

For info, I've switched my OS language into Arabic and didn't notice any change in Spotify UI. I was able to get my previous screenshot by settings manually <html dir=rtl>. 
Do you think it should be WontFix then?
I think we should fix the CC text alignment. WDYT?
How does the CC text look like when you have the track names in arabic?
I'm not sure to understand why changing track names in arabic would update how CC text look like?
I guess my question is whether it would make sense to have the CC text alignment to be different and looking at the text alignment with actual RTL language would help figure this out.

I've added arabic track names to https://beaufortfrancois.github.io/sandbox/media/video-rtl.html  and still doesn't see changes.
