Migaku doesnt show subtitles anymore
I've run into this bug several times now—Migaku fails to detect subtitles in videos, even when they're clearly there, and sometimes even when they're official, not auto-generated. Why doesn't the program detect the subtitles and how can I fix it? (c.f. attached file)

I just booted up Migaku after a long break and therer are no subtitles in YouTube for Korean anyway. I disabled all the other add ons and it still won't show subtitles. This is the video: https://youtu.be/t2JvIA0NnGY?si=AEAZzQ1Dt9igVJ7N and there are definitely subtitles. I'm using the Chrome early access extension.

I saw another thread with the same issue. I'm a little concerned that this came up a while ago now and there's still no update in the app to fix it. But there is a work around (for now). Just make a 2nd YouTube account which is pretty simple to do and then it should work fine on the 2nd account. Who knows how long this work around will work though.
There are a few work arounds:
1. incognito mode
2. Just logging out of any account
3. Making a new account
YouTube has made a change that’s being rolled out to accounts slowly, so if you have this issue then you were probably affected by this change. They said they fixed it and will be out in the next update (I have no clue when that is)

There is a fix being rolled out, because of some of these issues. Not sure if this will fix this specficially, but it should

Up until today, the extension showed subtitles if I logged out of my account. Now it doesn't even show subtitles when logged out. It seems completely broken on YouTube at this point. Hopefully, the update will fix it.
