[Bug] Auto-generated subtitles no longer display in the video player #4660
Comments
I want to look into this --- does anyone know what URL Invidious uses to fetch the caption? |
It depends on whether the instance has the configuration option The default endpoint Invidious uses is rate-limited on larger instances resulting in broken subtitles as Invidious is unable to fetch the captions from YouTube. When the workaround In this particular case, it seems like the bug is caused by your Invidious not enabling the workaround. If you try to view the auto generated caption on https://iv.nboeck.de (an instance with the workaround enabled) you'll see that the captions does show. |
Interesting --- I'll try that. However, my instance isn't large --- I'm the only one that uses it, and I rarely watch more than 2-3 videos on it per day, which shouldn't be enough for a rate-limit. |
I'm also experiencing this on my single user self-hosted instance. |

I just did some testing. It seems like YouTube changed something on the regular timedtext endpoint... manually-created captions still work but auto-generated captions are completely broken when not using the workaround. Although, I'm not even sure if the auto-generated captions has ever actually worked in Invidious... There's been a feature request for YouTube's automatically translated captions for years now. See #2187 and automatically-generated untranslated captions probably also falls into that same category. |
Auto-generated captions definitely worked at least a month ago because I've been using them regularly, and I never had the innertube option set. |
Describe the bug
Even though a particular language is selected in the video player's "Caption Settings" menu, no captions are displayed. This is only an issue with auto-generated subtitles
