videojs: How to get actual text of subtitle on 'cuechange' - video.js

Question

I'm using videojs with some of the following code:
player.addRemoteTextTrack({ src: 'http://[somepath/to/vtt]' })
(I've verified that the Network tab in chrome shows a request to the VTT file and it's sound.)
And then:
const textTrack = player.textTracks()[0]
textTrack.addEventListener('cuechange', () => {
const activeCue = textTrack.activeCues[0]
console.log(activeCue.text, activeCue.startTime, activeCue.endTime)
})
The cuechange fires during playback, but the text attribute doesn't contain the actual subtitle text, but instead looks like the source of the .m3u8 file. The startTime and endTime of the cue seem to be correct though.
I think I'm missing something, but I'm trying to get the actual text of the triggered subtitle cue, but instead looks like this:
{"bandwidth":296728,"resolution":{"width":640,"height":268},"codecs":"avc1.42c015,mp4a.40.2","byteLength":319224,"uri":"https://...... (and so on)

Ok. Hopefully this will help someone else. It's a little confusing, but seems to be what's happening.
After I addRemoteTextTrack(), player.textTracks().length becomes 2.
One of those is of kind=metadata
The other is of kind=subtitles (the one I explicitly added)
I was listening on the kind=metadata cuechange assuming the remotely added track was the only one in the tracklist, and it fires off at the correct time in the video, even without me loading the remote text track. I think this means the stream I'm loading has some kind of metadata track for cue points embedded.
When I do add the remote track, trying to listen on the kind=subtitle track doesn't seem to fire off the cuechange event however, but I think this is because of videojs track precedence. Neither of the tracks had mode=showing, so cuechange events only fired on the one with precedence (first item in the tracklist array... the metadata one).
The solution is to simply add mode=showing to the track that I explicitly add to give it precedence:
player.addRemoteTextTrack({
src: 'http://[somepath/to/vtt]',
mode: 'showing'
})
This now allows me to listen on the tracklist item where kind=subtitle and get the actual text
