Restore CC (Subtitles) Indicator on Channels' Videos Page
⚬ PROBLEM: (Youtube removed the CC (subtitles) indicator on channels' Videos page that used to show which videos had subtitles. Now, only playlists on a channel's main page display it.)
⚬ SOLUTION:
(Restore the CC indicator to channels' Videos page.)
⚬ RELEVANCE / SCOPE: (Many people rely on subtitles to watch Youtube videos and it has become much more tedious to identify subtitled content since they've removed this feature.)
Thank you!
| SHORT Table | (Summary) |
|---|---|
| Problem | Youtube removed the CC/subtitle indicator from channels' Video page. |
| Solution | Restore the CC/subtitle indicator. |
Images for context:
CC (subtitle) indicators are visible under video titles on the channel's main page.
CC indicators are not visible on the channel's /videos page.
I've updated my original post with images highlighting the issue I'm addressing. Previously every channel's /videos page would also show those CC indicators.
@booitsjwu Thanks!
I don't believe #1523 is talking about the same issue
yes, just believing in links. Trying to connect the conversation about each topic.
Combining all our approaches / visions about captions,
like:
" all about transcript, captions, subtitles,
- [x] a
- [ ] b
- [x] c
- [ ] d " So we'd make the best use of the next session / day of a volunteer developer, who might not personally care about captions, but can solve 3,4,5 things in a row.
ytInitialData does contain "accessibilityData":{"label":"Closed captions"} so at least there is data that can be easily extracted
