Today someone sent me a report of a caption file which had stopped working. Turned out the service had posted it in utf-16. WebVTT requires utf-8 encoding. We should report a useful message to the console in such cases, to help developers diagnose the problem. https://codepen.io/bkardell/pen/LNKWmw from https://twitter.com/briankardell/status/733340950332743682
