@Jaifroid Yes, all good! 👍

Tried running the same recipe locally and it ran pretty fast (See logs below). Looks like the Youtube API might be throttling the requests from Zimfarm in this case. ```...

The response is in the following format: ```json "requested_subtitles": { "en": { "ext": "vtt", "url": "https://www.youtube.com/api/timedtext?v=DYvYGQHYScc&ei=rzKqZouKCqfWz7sPiu_E2Qw&caps=asr&opi=112496729&xoaf=5&hl=en&ip=0.0.0.0&ipbits=0&expire=1722455327&sparams=ip%2Cipbits%2Cexpire%2Cv%2Cei%2Ccaps%2Copi%2Cxoaf&signature=D55586A99B8028F2565AFE1F76F3F55D8BE2ECA6.E032AF517474302C806EE8A02C6CDC914CD903B9&key=yt8&lang=en&fmt=vtt",...

@benoit74 and I discussed the possibility of hashing the `url` of each subtitle provided by `yt-dlp` and using it as an etag. However, it seems that this URL changes every...

I like the first approach. This was what I originally wanted to do with the "Home" tab in my proposed [Figma design](https://www.figma.com/design/f922aAI4PJry9ioHWm4Zd4/Kiwix-Youtube-UI-Revamp?node-id=0-1&t=drxPrJNx7m7JY1Tg-1). We can use this layout when there are...
