"The available Japanese subtitles don't match the audio"
I just switched over from legacy migaku to the modern one, and every single video I open has this issue, even the comprehensible Japanese video that is recommended to the user in the migaku extension. This is a video which doesn't work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZfbyGLakSg&list=PLPdNX2arS9MYUGoIp0qogtHZ3fXu46GQt
Can someone please help me with this?
I am using v1.23.4
Chrome Version 136.0.7103.93 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Windows 10 PC
if you need other specs please let me know.

other text on the screen is loading in the extension just fine. this is taken from the same video linked above

apparent-cyan•2mo ago
@cnethe hmm, I can't replicate this
fascinating-indigoOP•2mo ago
Do you have any recommendations on what I can do so I can gather some info for you?
apparent-cyan•2mo ago
Oh you're on v1.23.4 but latest version is 1.25.0 so maybe try updating to latest version?
Are you a standard or EA user?
i see you have both tags
fascinating-indigoOP•2mo ago
I am using standard, let me try to update
I don't see any way to update it, how do I do that?

different extension entirely
separate install
fascinating-indigoOP•2mo ago
same popup
apparent-cyan•2mo ago
You get a pop-up but does it otherwise work?
Can you try disabling all other extensions?
fascinating-indigoOP•2mo ago
Yes popup, no it doesn't work for the video. Other text on that page works but not the video itself
Just did this and restarted my computer twice
absent-sapphire•2mo ago
I started having the same issue today, but it somehow works when I'm logged out of YouTube.
fascinating-indigoOP•2mo ago
do you have youtube premium ferdi?
@ferdi
absent-sapphire•2mo ago
no
fascinating-indigoOP•2mo ago
The same thing works for me
I have premium, I thought it might be that but it isn't
when I am logged out I can get it to work
apparent-cyan•2mo ago
I have premium
and it works
do you have the issue with the video he linked above?
absent-sapphire•2mo ago
Yes, with all videos I tried
apparent-cyan•2mo ago
@ferdi can I get your info?
1. What version of the extension are you running?
- Find the puzzle piece icon in the top-right →
Manage extensions
→ find Migaku and the version is the number next to the extension name
- Or go to Migaku extension settings and scroll all the way down
2. Does this issue happen in Chrome?
Chrome is the only officially supported browser and others can experience some bugs
3. What OS are you using?
Windows / Mac / Linux / Other
4. How often does this occur?
Occasionally? All of the time?
5. Does this issue occur on specific pages or videos?
For example, does it affect Netflix but not YouTube? Can you share a URL/timestamp of an affected website or video?
6. Can you replicate this issue even if you temporarily disable all other extensions?
- Puzzle piece icon → Manage extensions
→ Turn off slider in bottom-right corner
- Alternatively, you can create a new Chrome profile by clicking on your profile icon → Add Chrome Profile
→ install Migaku againapparent-cyan•2mo ago
And can both of you @ferdi @cnethe answer and do the following?
1. What region are you in?
2. Are you sure you have a stable connection?
3. Do you have a VPN, proxy, firewall, or anything else that could be affecting your network connection in the mix?
Does disabling it change anything?
4. Could you share console output with us so we can debug?

Started happening today.
It occurs on all YouTube videos with Japanese subtitles, but only when logged into YouTube. Other websites work fine.
Also occurs without other extension.

optimistic-gold•5w ago
I have the same issue today :c
ehh, the issue goes away for the same video when I switch youtube accounts. I'm using the beta migaku extension btw. Could it be some feature that youtube is A/B testing which is breaking something maybe?
robust-apricot•5w ago
Hello, I'm having the same issue. Tried multiple videos that were working for me but now stating that "the available Japanese subtitles don't match the audio"
foreign-sapphire•5w ago
same issue for me, I found if i generate subtitles with migaku I can get those to work sometimes but I need to refresh a bunch of times.
conscious-sapphire•5w ago
I also have this issue
apparent-cyan•5w ago
The team is investigating
unwilling-turquoise•4w ago
I have the same problem, and I dont know if this is connected, but Word Audio is bugged as well:

vicious-gold•4w ago
I'm getting the same problem, only just started about a day or two ago, I've been using Migaku for around 6 months now and this is the first issue I've had. This is the error message

vicious-gold•4w ago
it seems to work when signed out of my account though
found a fix
when you look at the top bar that opens when you find a video there's a little wand on the right side, click that and it will "generate subtitles" once completed they will appear on the video.
vicious-gold•4w ago
this bar

vicious-gold•4w ago
the grayed out wand
unwilling-turquoise•4w ago
why generate, when there are subtitles included from the youtube creator?
vicious-gold•4w ago
You mean in the video? It's only on words they want to highlight where captions are added its not a direct translation or constant. Plus being able to copy live text and sentences into anki is a life saver. The youtube subtitle generation is worse than Migaku's as well.
^
unwilling-turquoise•4w ago
I dont think you understand the problem
vicious-gold•4w ago
the problem is, "the avalible subtitles don't match the audio"
you can bypass it by generation using migaku
unwilling-turquoise•4w ago
and thats not the problem lol
^
vicious-gold•4w ago
yeah
exaclty what i said
unwilling-turquoise•4w ago
.
vicious-gold•4w ago
you can
unwilling-turquoise•4w ago
and thats still not the problem
vicious-gold•4w ago
the error message is the problem
unwilling-turquoise•4w ago
never mind, you dont get it.
vicious-gold•4w ago
what are you on about
the error message is the same
unwilling-turquoise•4w ago
its okay, if it works for you, good... not all users have the problem
vicious-gold•4w ago
what are you talking about
i said i found a way to bypass the issue
at least temporarily
the issue still remains for me
but i can use a tool to bypass it
unwilling-turquoise•4w ago
its not bypassing, by generating
vicious-gold•4w ago
the generation bypasses the issue
it is a temporary solution that i thought might help other people as it did for me
unwilling-turquoise•4w ago
.
vicious-gold•4w ago
it doesnt work for me
unwilling-turquoise•4w ago
.
vicious-gold•4w ago
bypass is not a fix
unwilling-turquoise•4w ago
exactly
vicious-gold•4w ago
so it does not work
unwilling-turquoise•4w ago
the bypass does not work? then why suggest it -.-
vicious-gold•4w ago
no, the issue
i think my brain is going to explode
you said it works for me
it doesnt
unwilling-turquoise•4w ago
there was an "if"
vicious-gold•4w ago
english isnt your first language
unwilling-turquoise•4w ago
.
vicious-gold•4w ago
work on english first
unwilling-turquoise•4w ago
where did I say that?
quote
vicious-gold•4w ago
if supposes the idea of it working
for me
why would you say it otherwise
"if it works for you, good..." that is a supposition
unwilling-turquoise•4w ago
its okay... few days on the site but knows everything better
vicious-gold•4w ago
ive being using migaku for 8 months
8k words
going to college and studying japanese
unwilling-turquoise•4w ago
good for you
vicious-gold•4w ago
i know what works
not related at all
unwilling-turquoise•4w ago
thx
vicious-gold•4w ago
wait lmao
thats what you wanted the fix for?
unwilling-turquoise•4w ago
there was an If as well....
but you just ignore those words...
vicious-gold•4w ago
you said mine doesnt work, you dont even know what the issue is
of course the fix doesnt work for you, the issue of yours is entirely unrelated
yours is an audio bug when replaying the AI voice
unwilling-turquoise•4w ago
so it is connected with the subtitle issue?
vicious-gold•4w ago
not at all
in the slightest
unwilling-turquoise•4w ago
okay
rising-crimson•4w ago
i have started having this bug in the last day or 2
this is helpful for videos that already don't have manually created subtitles on them, and while the generated subtitles are decent, they're inaccurate
there are many videos i watch specifically because they have subtitles provided, and in that case it doesn't help as it still won't load the original subtitles
unwilling-turquoise•4w ago
yeah, thats why his bypass is useless... it doesnt bypass the problem
vicious-gold•4w ago
Depends on what you watch
you dont have the problem
unwilling-turquoise•4w ago
yeah, we arent as good as you, we know
vicious-gold•4w ago
what are you on about, it helps me
rising-crimson•4w ago
look guys i get it you don't really like eachother's answers but do you mind taking it to the dms? ..
vicious-gold•4w ago
the captions are pretty accurate if youre not listening to people talking over eachother
unwilling-turquoise•4w ago
@meatball sees it like me, inaccurate
vicious-gold•4w ago
what is
unwilling-turquoise•4w ago
and like I said earlier ( which you dont want to understand) , if it works for you, its fine
vicious-gold•4w ago
it doesnt work due to his point in learning or prefered learning style
my guy
you dont have the issue
get out of the thread
unwilling-turquoise•4w ago
how do you want to know?
lol
im here because of the issue
vicious-gold•4w ago
your issue is ai audio generation on a migaku card
unwilling-turquoise•4w ago
maybe you know Japanese bertter than me, but not my problems with migaku
pls read
vicious-gold•4w ago
this right?
unwilling-turquoise•4w ago
pls read the first 5 words, (maybe English isnt your first language)
vicious-gold•4w ago
have you tried my method?
unwilling-turquoise•4w ago
i love it
I dont want to generate new subs, I dont like generated subs. 3rd time: if you like generated subs, good for you
vicious-gold•4w ago
if youre early on to migaku then you probably dont have a deep account on youtube
unwilling-turquoise•4w ago
yes you find them accurate
we know
vicious-gold•4w ago
you can signout and make a new one
it should work
unwilling-turquoise•4w ago
quoting the same message a 2nd time
videos were working before
now not anymore
vicious-gold•4w ago
if you sign out of your account on youtube
you can use the subtitles
unwilling-turquoise•4w ago
I know
vicious-gold•4w ago
if your reccomendation pool isnt that developed yet you can just make a new one
unwilling-turquoise•4w ago
lol I give up, you just want to annoy me...
rising-crimson•4w ago
i'm not sure if it helps but, for some reason this bug only happens when i use my main YouTube account, but when i switch to a different YouTube account it works normally
i tried matching the youtube settings ( language ui, language settings, location, account name ) of the account that has the bug to the account that doesn't, but that didn't seem to help
apparent-cyan•4w ago
ty for the info
optimistic-gold•4w ago
The issue now also occurs on my second account 😔
foreign-sapphire•4w ago
Cross-posting my comment, because this seems like the issue I'm experiencing
apparent-cyan•4w ago
It's being investigated
stormy-gold•4w ago
Is there some update on it?
genetic-orange•4w ago
Its happening the same for me in mandarin videos, even the recommended migaku ones
I just tested something, one video on my normal account on youtube, didnt work. But on incognito, not signed it in youtube worked.
apparent-cyan•4w ago
Still being worked on. It seems connected to being logged in.
extended-salmon•4w ago
Thought ill just add it in here since theres already a topic open on this, i do have the same issue but im on the EA ver.
unwilling-turquoise•4w ago
yeah like others here, just check their roles...
fascinating-indigoOP•4w ago
When loading an incognito chrome browser which is not logged in I get these errors in the console. This seems to repeat for every line of the subtitles. The first attached image shows an example of two errors which match up with two distinct lines of subtitles. There are some other errors at the top which are shown in the second attached image.


fascinating-indigoOP•4w ago
Is there any other temporary workaround that you know of that does not involve logging out and/or using incognito?
None that anyone has found yet
eager-peach•3w ago
Anyone found a way to fix it?
extended-salmon•3w ago
It's looking more and more likely Youtube changed something. If you use asbplayer to load youtube subs, it wont work unless you go to incognito. Which is the same for the Migaku extension. Something i notice, it might help you guys idk.
Hm, missed this one. I just got it but didn't find this thread when searching for "The available Japanese subtitles doesn't match the audio"
I wrote my findings here: https://discord.com/channels/752293144917180496/1373753809918230528 (Early access part)
But no real fix yet...

This just worked for me, I'll mine while I can. Thanks!
But then you aren't logging in again? Or does it work for you if you login? For me it just failed again. Maybe I should try fiddling around more with different accounts on youtube and clearing site data.
fascinating-indigoOP•3w ago
I am not logged in. I have a feeling they enabled a feature which is going out to users in waves but not yet applied to the logged out user
Yeah, that's what I'm thinking as well.
If this is related to a feature being rolled out to users in waves, I guess we just have to wait until someone on the team gets the update. Hopefully soon since more and more are starting to get this issue with youtube.
fascinating-indigoOP•3w ago
Actually, I just logged into another account and it seems to be working too. Let me try my main account again
I bet your main account has this new awesome youtube feature 😄
fascinating-indigoOP•3w ago
Main account is still having the fun new "feature"
At least I can still use migaku for the time being, I recommend anyone who wants to use YouTube to try logging out/ using another account to see if it works
I switched to another account and now it works. It is a new feature on my main account that just rolled out today... (for me).
Didn't even have to clear site data...
Now that feature rolled out on my other account as well...
@HulK (ping reply me)|🇭🇰 (8k) Has anyone on the Migaku team gotten the new feature on youtube yet that breaks Migaku?
fascinating-indigoOP•3w ago
Are you able to use it when logged out?
apparent-cyan•3w ago
yes
rare-sapphire•3w ago
Hi, just wanted to add that this happens to me for every video (studying Chinese), it says the subtitles don't match the audio, even though it's not true. It works if I use incognito though
Now it doesn't work logged out either. The Migaku app can't mine words anymore, or if using the wand, can't record the video/sound either.
wise-white•2w ago
Also getting this error. Doesn't work in incog, tons of errors in console for
Error: getEnhancedToken
. Only other extension I have on is UBlock Origin, but even with it disabled I still get this error. I cleared all cache data toodeep-jade•2w ago
anyone ever get any feedback from Migaku on this issue?
apparent-cyan•2w ago
A fix has been implemented and it will be out in the next release
deep-jade•2w ago
beautiful! thank you
continuing-cyan•2w ago
I'm getting this error aswell
when can we expect the next release?
apparent-cyan•2w ago
Not sure exactly
genetic-orange•2w ago
Just for reference its not working on incognito anymore too 😦
wise-white•2w ago
Any updates?

Unfortunately they haven’t given a time frame 😅 we’ll just have to wait til they announce a new updates been rolled out ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
genetic-orange•5d ago
I was able to use it normally by creating a new temporary youtube account, but even on that account it suddenly stopped working.
I made a new account again and migaku is working for now.
robust-apricot•5d ago
The fix will be available in the next release 🙂
continuing-cyan•4d ago
Liklihood that will be this week? My primary use of the extension is almost exclusively on Youtube.
robust-apricot•4d ago
I can't say for sure 🥲
apparent-cyan•4d ago
Just got this same issue, shame
No idea how to fix it
optimistic-gold•4d ago
It doesn't work for me either:pensiveCat:
