This is either a programming request or a simple workaround...
Preface: I don't like Google and don't want to give YouTube any more support than I have to. However some creators I follow are only on YouTube.
Question: is there a way to always show closed captions (when available) when watching YouTube videos without being logged in/having an account? Is there an extension with this behavior?
Issue: When I watch multiple videos in a row, using the ?view=57 url trick and "Play All" button, the captions turn off when switching between videos... I have to enter the other room and hit the "c" button on the keyboard to turn them back on every time, which is inconvenient while streaming.
Action: I've searched for Firefox add-ons and extensions but their behaviors are all generically described... and I can't ascertain if they have this behavior. And many that talk about subtitles are you uploading your own .srt which is NOT what I'm trying to do.
Any help would be appreciated... it's a small but very frequently experienced annoyance and I feel like there must be some easy solution! Or... this could be a fun practice exercise for someone to release on github or something ;)
Thanks in advance.

I've been having some RSI issues, and I'm attempting to use voice controls as much as possible to help my body. I've gotten pretty good as navigating my system and entering text on macos, but web browsing is still a half won battle. I can create new tabs, search for text, and things like that. The missing link though is the ability to select and click links via voice in Chrome. Is this possible to do? Thanks!
When we select a captcha image, it fading away and a fresh new image is getting replaced, as shown in below screenshot. Same for all images in that captcha. For over a year we had no problem, but only since 2 days we are seeing this(no change is done in the page).
Additionally, this problem occurs intermittently irrespective of browsers, OS, or Browser Incognito mode.
We tried changing security level at Google Developer Console to low, medium and full but of no use. If you have any clue or handled this before, please let me know.
Note: I see this problem for my work website, personal website, as well on Quora Signup page also!(may have to keep refreshing for a while to see the problem).
This is expected behaviour, its just a different type of recaptcha challenge. You select all storefronts or whatever it tells you too and then it will fade out and load a new image. You have to repeat and click the matching images until there are no more storefront images left to select, then verify.
This is completely confusing for users. If you do it once and it behaves a certain way and then the next time images fade out it seems like an error. This is not an answer but hopefully if enough people lodge an issue they can make a more sensible solution.
I had the same problem and it was very annoying. At first i thought my captcha is bugged out.
The solution: Keep pressing the images they ask you to click on (for example "select all images with dogs")
As soon as there are no more pictures with "dogs" press the submit button and it should give you a positive response.
hope it helped :)
i faced the same issue.
Its not a bug as many guys claim.
But first of all you have to disable your ad blocker, if you are using any.
When recaptcha i.e. asks for chosing a bus, select a bus until there is no bus anymore.
Then verify... this worked for me. i hope for you as well
I went through many links and research for this behavior but as we all know grecaptcha is one type of service that protects your website from spam and abuse. Every time our CAPTCHAs are solved, that human effort helps digitize text, annotate images, and build machine learning datasets. This in turn helps preserve books, improve maps, and solve hard AI problems.
Google Recaptcha
So this is basic thing which everybody knows who are using grecaptcha.
But your question is appreciable but this behavior is not related to security settings or OS or Browsers or anything else.
(You will get rid of this behavior only when they change their behavior or launch new Captcha. :)
I probably searched through the entire web but couldn't find any help on this. Before I ask the question I must mention that I am a complete novice in web development.
I went through a lot of websites that enable you to play audio through stratus after clicking on a thumbnail. Although websites like indieshuffle.com and themusicninja do not use stratus, I was wondering how they get their photos to play songs in their audio players.
Similarly, I don't want my thumbnails to link to the post but instead I want people to play the corresponding soundcloud track after clicking on the thumbnail. Also, if it is possible to have play/pause buttons on the thumbnails it will be great.
Of course, I have ajax and stratus as well as the full width audio player installed as plugins.
I am guessing this has to do with embedding the shortcode for the track somewhere in the image.
Please help!!!
since you are complete new your best bet here is an album plugin or something
that will let you attach an image and have a mp3 file to relate to, and be displayed without much knowledge in coding.
I wanted to convert some few flash files to HTML 5 Based Videos, I tried using Google Swiffy which was much better than any other converters. The only problem is it doesn't have support for audio in Mozilla Firefox, android Browsers and Mobile safari browsers. Is there any way to manipulate the JSON data and make it work on all the browsers, if yes, how? if no, why?.
Clear explanation on how Swiffy works is much appreciated.
Thanks in Advance
I've found that a better solution is to separate the audio and animation and encapsulate each. For example, create an AnimationPlayer and an AudioPlayer. Within each of those, implement Swiffy and say Jplayer respectively. This way if you need to replace your swiffy animations with CreateJS sprites or whatever the next cool thing is, you can without breaking your other code. This also of course addresses the audio problem by using a well developed audio player that likely works and is maintained for all browsers.
Since the question was asked, the audio now works in Firefox (23) - the compatibility chart at the swiffy site stops at FF 15. Let's say "partially supported", because in both FF and IE9, the sound is apt to stop when animations get complicated. Works beautifully in Chrome, though.
Michael Prdescott's answer may offer some hope for iPads, which still don't recognize swiffy sound. But, I'm wondering how it would work - the user would press two buttons (one for sound, one for video)? Or the audio and video would load together and autoplay? Either way, wouldn't that make a mess (or at least be risky) when sound/video are meant to be synchronized?
I have this question mainly about youtube video's, but extentable to any flash app that plays in fullscreen. Is there a possibility to make fullscreen not take over the entire screen, but just inside the tab where the video is loaded? Is there any addon or setting I can use to make this happen?
If other browsers (eg Chrome) do support this functionality, please feel free to reply!
Thanks in advance, Tom
Quick and dirty code for scratchpad or bookmarklet to view a youtube video as full page:
if(location.href.match(/^https?:\/\/(?:www\.)?youtube\.com\/watch\?v=(\w+)/)){
location.assign(["http://www.youtube.com/embed/",RegExp.$1].join(""));
}
Note: Snippet omits encodeURIComponent and parsing query parameters, which you probably should implement if you're going to use it in an actual bookmarklet/userscript/addon.
