Remember Previously Selected Subtitles
robertospenha opened this issue · 9 comments
The subtitle language option within the downloads section has not been successful to download subtitles in Brazilian Portuguese.
I used this option and it worked normally, but about 15 days ago I realized that it no longer works I downloaded the latest beta version to see if I had a solution and noticed that the subtitle languages option was removed. Given this, I would like to know if it is an option of the project or if it is some technical limitation.
And if I can keep hoping that this option will work again.
I thank you for your attention and I congratulate you on your work.
The subtitles option has been removed from the downloads section in Preferences, yes you are correct.
But, if you update to the latest beta version (V2024.10.0-rc1) you will see that when you add a new download, the dialog will have a new subtitles section that will allow you to select and see the available subtitles to download for an individual video.
Try it out and let me know how it goes !
Thank you for your reply.
I only had one question. Previously I had no limitation to have the subtitles of the videos in Portuguese. However, now some videos only have the English option.
Another one that used to get the subtitles in Portuguese appeared only the options in English, German and Spanish. Maybe it's a limitation imposed by youtube that it didn't have in the past.
However, these same videos I can access the subtitles in Portuguese if I am on the youtube platform.
I went to do tests on videos that previously I could have access to subtitles in Portuguese and these videos today don't even allow subtitles in English. No caption. These videos were made by Americans (USA).
It reinforces the idea that it must be some limitation imposed by youtube. I just didn't quite understand the criteria for this.
Could you provide me with the URL(s) of the videos you are trying to access the subtitles for? I will do some testing of my own and hopefully improve it.
These three videos contemplate the various scenarios that I perceived problematic.
Before I could get any of these videos in Brazilian Portuguese now I am restricted only to these options indicated in the links.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sjt5R6wlEIk - English, Spanish and German
Could you go into the app's Preferences ans check if you have turned on "Include Auto-Generated Subtitles" and try again?
For the first video it worked, the Portuguese option appeared.
However, for this video only the subtitles in English remain and the auto-generated only in English - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sjt5R6wlEIk
This problem mentioned that the occurs in this video It applies to both the beta version and the stable version that I already leave pre-configured for Portuguese
The first case was a mistake on my part by not setting up the beta version well. However, I noticed something that for my type of use got worse.
Now I have to for each video go down to the subtitle option of my target language. And in the current version it was enough to leave the language codes activated. And it already left English and Portuguese standard.
I don't know if it makes a difference from a technical point of view to keep the previous option (which is in the stable version) in which I can leave pre-configured in the general options the subtitles I want for my videos. And maybe allow the user to adjust it if they want in specific situations, such as adding Spanish. But then he would already have the pre-configured language options already checked.

I will implement this
Thank you. Congratulations on your work. Certainly many people are benefiting from this project.
Long life for you and the parabolic
