"Importing Failed no Captions Found"

December 07 at 23:06

Hi,

I have been finding issue with uploading videos in French which have subtitles in my native language (English).

If A video which is entirely in french and has French auto generated subtitles but English normal subtitles (someone made English subtitles manually) I get the above message. A great example is this video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFMtIz8p2fM&

I can read the french subtitles but the link importer can't seem to find them.

Any advice?

You should be able to import from YouTube normally now, including auto-generated subtitles.

Hi everyone, I just want to post an update here.

Unfortunately the issue with YouTube importing at the moment is on YouTube's end. It's basically related to auto-generated captions. Looks like YT changed the way how it's distributed.

Here's the link where you can get more details:

https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/issues/27315

That means that, at the moment, you can only import videos with manually uploaded subtitles, while auto-generated subtitles won't work.

As soon as YouTube fix this, hopefully in next update, it will start working in LingQ Imported too.

If this is the case, can we modify the lingq extension to just download the video and at least for now ignore the subtitles? The subtitles can easily be acquired from youtube.

I have been having the same problem for the last week. It would import some but for the last two days it says "No subtitles found" on google.

We are looking into it. Turned out to be a bit more complicated than we expected. Please post a link to some videos you tried to import but weren't able.

Hi, sorry about that. It seems to be a bug. We've reported it to our developers and they're looking into it. What browser were you using when you tried to import that video?
