CC button not showing up for Youtube videos

[Lefthandmedia]

Describe the bug
Well the CC button is not showing up for Youtube videos. It does for vimeo.
I can see the markup for it with a display:none . But i expect it to be visible when the 'captions' option is in the controls array.

Are you able to reproduce the bug in the demo site
The demo site also does not show a CC button for the Youtube video

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
initialise a Glightbox, have the 'captions' in the controls [array], link a you tube video.

Expected behavior
i expect the CC button to be visible in the controlbar when the 'captions' option is in the controls array.

Post the code you are using
const Mylightbox = GLightbox({ selector: .lightbox, touchNavigation: true, loop: true, autoplayVideos: true, plyr: { css: 'https://cdn.plyr.io/3.7.8/plyr.css', js: 'https://cdn.plyr.io/3.7.8/plyr.js', config: { ratio: null, // or '4:3' controls: ['play-large', 'play', 'progress', 'current-time', 'mute', 'volume', 'captions', 'settings', 'pip', 'airplay', 'fullscreen'], }, }, });

GLightbox does not modify the player interface at all, if captions are hidden it must be something related to Plyr. GLightbox simply passes your configuration to Plyr and that's it. Not sure if this is a know issue but you'll have more luck asking in the Plyr repo.

Posted an issue there as well ( sampotts/plyr#2744 ). That said, it looks like PLYR is a dying project moving towards Vidstack. issues are no longer dealt with or answered by maintainer. Is there an alternative for PLYR?

Currently, none that I know of. They were kind of in a league of their own. The one that was used in previous versions has gone paid only.

This is something we need to consider, Vidstack does not support Youtube or Vimeo yet.

Probably we'll keep Plyr until Vidstack is ready. Plyr is not perfect but seems to be the best option for now.
