The current XBlock version (as of writing this issue) breaks the Hawthorn edxapp when installed. Mainly because it requires installing pycaptions.

I tried to upgrade pycaptions but stopped after realizing that it's not maintained anymore:

I also found that webvtt-py could be used, but it turns out that it only support Python 3+. I tried to support that as well:

Hi @OmarIthawi, sorry to hear your sufferings. Lack of Python 3 support makes life miserable indeed. Unfortunately, I can't help you here, because I no longer work on this project for a quite some time. But other guys might be able to help you.

If you still need help here, of course.
