Rented the Ringu Movie to study on youtube, now migaku wont give me any subtitles...
I just rented the ringu movie the first and second part to study japanese, and now migaku won´t give me any subtitles... it won´t even let me generate them. I am on my PC and am using the Chrome extension. Please can someone help me I dont want to have wasted money...

Does Migaku work with rented movies on YouTube? It might not @HulK (ping reply me)|🇭🇰 (8k)

@NebelCherry most likely won't work because of DRM for some videos

@HulK (ping reply me)|🇭🇰 (8k) But it was advertised it does work on the migaku blog…about learning japanese with horror movies…

Like, thats clearly the youtube interface or am i wrong?

It works with public and unlisted videos on YouTube. Instead of the term movies it should be changed to videos, movies is a bit misleading since whisper only works on YouTube videos rn @HulK (ping reply me)|🇭🇰 (8k)

@Minoqi 🇰🇷 🇯🇵 🇨🇳 Thats really annoying because the movie is obviously not free on youtube? so how did they think that would work?
They don’t, it’s a poor choice of words. It works on regular videos but not rented YouTube videos or private videos

But it even doesn’t work with normal videos either rn… Like the normal subtitles. Im really sad because i thought i could so something fun and immersive.
But i wanted to ask if such basically game breaking bugs(like not being able to use the ios app properly with youtube or the normal subtitles on chrome extension) happen more often? im pretty new but if this is normal i dont think i wanna pay for that:/ if i cant actually use what i paid for you know?
sorry forgot to ping @Minoqi 🇰🇷 🇯🇵 🇨🇳
From my understanding, YouTube changed something in their backend that has broken YouTube functionality for lots of people. They’re currently working on a fix, and supposedly an update for iOS I think was just released that’s suppose to fix the crashing? @The Coding Ape

@NebelCherry Some people upload full movies on YouTube. The screenshot is from the grudge.

@HulK (ping reply me)|🇭🇰 (8k) i dont think so its from the first ringu movie i watched it yesterday just without subtitles
stormy-gold•2w ago
i said it's from the grudge..
eastern-cyanOP•2w ago
and in the article it talsk about ringu…. its not from grudge?
i mean let’s be real… people read movies they’re thinking rented movies not uploading their own movies. If you want to keep movies I think it should be clarified that it’s only for public or unlisted movies and not rented or private videos

Ya it's a mistake in the article.

@HulK (ping reply me)|🇭🇰 (8k) @Minoqi 🇰🇷 🇯🇵 🇨🇳 Yeah because i only rented them on youtube because i was falsely advertised to do so….
stormy-gold•2w ago
Ya I agree, it's pretty misleading as is
We'll update the article
Sorry about that
The writer did not know about that restriction

@HulK (ping reply me)|🇭🇰 (8k) Okay thank you☺️
@Minoqi 🇰🇷 🇯🇵 🇨🇳 and sorry but i have to ask the ios app doesnt crash anymore but it says my settings have hidden subtitles but i dont know…
That’s the YouTube issue I mentioned, idk when they’ll find a fix for it but I hope soon, it’s been a few days so I’m guessing it’s a pain to fix
stormy-gold•2w ago
It's being actively investigated and is the top priority

Oh okay! Thank you
