Description

From: https://github.com/libre-tube/LibreTube/issues/4680#issuecomment-1705314724

Example video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GroV8G4Amg8

  • LibreTube Subtitles: None, English, English, (some japanese characters i cant read)

Youtubes subtitles are much more descriptive and useful.

Research direction

Start by reproducing subtitle extraction for the example YouTube video GroV8G4Amg8 and compare LibreTube's results with Piped and YouTube. Done means the extracted subtitle names are descriptive and distinguish entries such as English, Japanese, and auto-generated subtitles rather than returning incomplete names.
