Description

Steps to reproduce

  • Create a library video with one or more transcripts (here, I used your mp4 video link, but it happens with the imported transcripts from the example youtube video too).
  • Publish the library video.
  • Copy it to the clipboard.
  • Paste into a course. Note that the transcripts are displaying fine here
  • Re-edit the library video, and replace a transcript. Wait for it to process fully before hitting Save.
  • Publish the library video again.
  • Return to the course LibraryBlock, and refresh to see the "updates available" button. Click it. Bug: the downstream (course) video preview shows the updated English transcript from upstream, not the actual transcript that's on the downstream block.
  • Accept changes.

Research direction

Reproduce the library-video and course LibraryBlock flow in the frontend-app-authoring React application, including replacing a transcript and opening the “updates available” preview. Compare the preview transcript with the transcript currently stored on the downstream block; done means the preview shows the downstream transcript before changes are accepted.
