Is your feature request related to a usage problem (not a bug)? Please describe. I think it would be nice if you add a tag Subtitles/CC if a video has them like YouTube website does.

Describe the solution you'd like to see implemented Display Subtitles/CC tag if a video has them.

Hi, so this should be rather easy to implement. I'd suggest adding the 4k label as well because these 2 fields are both provided by the ytdl-core module and are next to each other.

I'd suggest adding the 4k label as well

Shall I open another issue for 4k label?

All good. I'm just gonna change the title and add 4k as well. A new issue for this is not really necessary. Thanks for asking tho :)

Although it would likely be opened in a second issue if at all, maybe in the future integration with live-caption on supported devices could be done to allow (attempted) captions for all videos, even those without YouTube auto-generated captions?

I've added a comment on the "Live" label in the pull request. Shouldn't be too difficult to implement, however will leave to different ticket.

Don't know about the look of the "Live" label as it seems to have an icon left of it. It'll be easier to ditch the icon and use a "text dot" instead.

Your comment is unrelated to this feature request and if I'm understanding you correctly not something we would be able to do. A quick internet search for "live captions" gave me two separate things:

  1. Google Chrome's proprietary and closed source "Live Captions" feature. Due to that being closed source and proprietary, nobody other than Google can include that functionality inside their program. As FreeTube is developed by a few volunteers in their spare time and not Google, we have no way of adding that feature from Google Chrome.
  2. Microsoft Windows' "Live Captions" accessibility feature. As that's something provided by the operating system in a separate program and window, we have no control over that, so you would need to manually turn on the functionality in Windows' settings and manually move the Live Captions window to a suitable position.
