Closed Captions in Trailer web player

[Terry67 1]

Closed captions can be enabled or disabled in the main web player, but when playing a trailer, it is enabled and there's no way to disable it. I'm on version 4.9.3.0

 

Thanks!

Its an issue on the windows and android apps also but not 3rd party apps like Zerk Play.

Why is there a different player used just for trailers?

We are embedding an official YouTube player. It is the only legal way to play YouTube content. We are configuring it to not show captions but sometimes YouTube applies them  anyway.

Thanks!  That makes sense.

We are continuing to reevaluate this. It seems to be a moving target. My guess is that even though Google still allows embedding of their content, I don’t think they’re as happy about it as they might have been in the past. It wouldn’t surprise me if at some point down the road they stop allowing it.

How do 3rd party apps implement YouTube trailers without subtitle etc?

Some might just be extracting the video URL’s and playing with their own player, but that is violating YouTube terms of service.
