2020-10-01	jaybeegee		Date of review - 2020-10-01 I'm reviewing Version 1.1.0 Size 29.76 KB Last updated 7 months ago (Feb 26, 2020) License GNU General Public License, version 3.0 The addon works as intended and is easy to use. I really appreciate that the video automatically gets paused during captions selection. However, there is an additional feature I'd really like to see - An option to "Assign text track from URL". I like to watch videos on invidious. Directly. Without the invidious interface. But there doesn't appear to be a way as of version 1.1.0, to add a subtitle track directly from URL. For example, The subtitle track for this video invidious[dot]snopyta[dot]org/latest_version?id=X4G7asMHqZ4&itag=18&local=true is located(at least at the time of writing this review) at youtube[dot]com/api/timedtext?fmt=vtt&name=&v=X4G7asMHqZ4&lang=en It would save me a little effort if I could just paste the URL directly into the extension and have it retrieve the subtitles for me. A further extension of this feature would be allowing importing of zip files containing subtitles from various subtitles websites. But I can see why that could pose security vulnerabilities from malicious archives. So I'm not asking for that. Even though that would be excellent. But I don't see why I shouldn't just be able to paste a VTT URL directly into the addon and have it be displayed on the video player, instead of me manually downloading it to my computer and then manually importing it. Now I can completely understand if there's a Firefox limitation that forbids this from happening. If so, then I can't fault the addon for a limitation in Firefox. But such a feature would still be great. In summary, I still highly recommend this extension. Particularly now, since youtube appears to be doing away with community contributed captions. Which is rather frustrating, since it's making things difficult not only for those who are hearing impaired, but also for those who have difficulty understanding words pronounced by youtubers with certain accents.
