no subtitle on youtube
Today trying to use migaku on youtube I noticed that when I try to select subtitles in the target or main language nothing happens, nothing comes up, as if no subtitles are available (in the original video of course there are subtitles)
this happens to me only on youtube, both with legacy and new extension, i didn't do anything special to break the extension this way =I
i tried reinstalling the extension but nothing
i also disabled all the plugins in the browser and vpn from my pc or other useless programs but nothing to do
i tried trubleshooting but i couldn't figure out the cause of the problem....
from the console i saw that it is continuously reported this error
Failed to load resource: net::ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT
/api/stats/qoe?fmt=398&cpn=z5V_Tumh72IxE-.....
but I don't understand if it's strictly related to migaku
as a browser I use brave but I have never encountered the following problem.
even disabling built-in adbloc the problem persists
i specify that the issue occurs only on youtube, trying to use netflix or other streaming sites i do not encounter the following problem
has anyone ever encountered this problem and would be able to help me out π

yeah looks like it's not just you
I'm also getting CORS errors

at this point I suppose some migaku library has broken down

that's with migaku turned off π
looks like Google shot itself in the foot by enforcing strict CORS policies at browser level but not defining them on youtube π
ah... for me new extension works
but I'm running new extension with a separate chrome profile
and not logged in on youtube
could it be youtube is doing A/B testing?

I'm suspecting something
lemme see if I can break it again
hmm nope
working fine even with adblock, iridium and clickbait remover enabled

it's amazing how using literally the same browser same configuration and plugin but only changing with my second youtube account, migaku works

I'm suspecting A/B testing on youtube's side
because between me logging out from main account and me logging back in to the main account... I have a slightly different page layout
and the other tab with the same account still didn't work for subs until I refreshed the page
and... surprise... the page layout changed a bit
