[Bug]: Captions not working

What happened?

Captions aren't displayed at all.

The typetype instance reports an http error 429 and typetype sever a status=509 when trying to display them:

Typetype:
"GET /api/subtitles/youtube/aNk-2zCKu64?language=en&variant=auto&format=vtt&sourceLanguage=en HTTP/1.1" 429 148 "http://slash:8082/watch?v=aNk-2zCKu64" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:153.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/153.0" "-"

Typetype server:
[eventLoopGroupProxy-7-2] INFO Application - requestId=305f0266-2878-446e-ac7e-7987817768ab method=GET path=/subtitles/youtube/aNk-2zCKu64 status=502 durationMs=629

Hello, thanks for the report. Right now, I don’t have any solution. YouTube based this on the IP; we figured it out for video, but for captions, we still don’t have any clue how to pull this off.

In the future, I or someone else involved in this work will figure it out, but for now, we still don’t know.

I’m going to keep it open so others can see it.

Hey! No worries, i wish i could help more there.

Maybe let the possibility to revert to the previous method (letting the client retrieve the subtitles) while waiting for the right implementation through typetype-server?
