Captions Won't Turn Off Youtube #568

Open sparkktv opened 7 years ago

sparkktv commented 7 years ago

I just updated my Plyr from version 2.0.11 to 2.0.12 in my code on my website. However now the captions won't turn off like they did in the older version. Here is the script I am using... Can someone please tell me what is wrong because it worked in 2.0.11 but not in 2.0.12.

This is a limitation of the API I think. I will investigate though.

Seems to work now in v3 (including for youtube) with new Plyr(video, {captions: {active: false}});

Edit: Nope ^

From my tests today, policy should be 3 in order to disable CC.

Thanks @Igcorreia

I think what actually happened is that I tried it with a YouTube link with generated captions, which seem to be off by default. YouTube also support importing captions using VTT files and other options, which seem to be default on.

The option I suggested using has no effect for YouTube.

@friday I have changed my plyr.js to force 3 as default and it worked perfectly. https://www.cloudtv.app/player/?id=26

If you inspect after the video loads with 'cc_load_policy=3' captions are turned off.

It would be so simple for youtube to add a way of forcing captions to be turned off. Why don't they do this? (I tried setting the cc_load_policy to 3, and this seemed to work for a short while, but no longer...)
