even using FreeTube, i have to change audio track and subtitle settings almost non-stop...
it's slightly less annoying to see wrong/unnecessary subtitles. but it's pretty confusing/tiring when the algorithm interprets sound effects or music (instrumental even) as Hindi or Uzbek or something and i have to turn off subs even if there is no talking.
audio on the other hand π€¬πΏπΉ
even if I watch a video not in either of my 2 fluent languages, i don't ever want to hear any dubbed/ai-gen audio track.
any idea if this is in YouTube's issue tracker?
regardless, in the absence of fix from YouTube side, any clue if this can be improved on the client side?
PS - any responses telling me to just watch peertube instead will be downvoted and user will be blocked. fyi i don't reject watching peertube but my chosen antidote for the corporate streaming disease is π΄ββ οΈ
edit: forgot to mention the video title auto translation presenting any and all languages' videos as if they're in my language πΏπΏπΏ
Yeah it's so annoying, and also the title autotranslation. I hate it. I started to download the videos using yt-dlp.
The only way to get rid of all those annoyances.
Ok, i found also that the revanced app has the plugin for youtube.
So when you download and patch youtube using the revanced manager one of the options is "Force Original Audio", make sure is selected.
Then when starting the patched youtube, go to Revanced Settings -> Miscellaneous -> Spoof Video Streams, and then select IOS Tv as default client. Then go to Revanced Settings -> Video and you should be able to enable the "Force Original audio language" option.
