The CC on the Peertube App aren't working for me? (anarchist.nexus)

When I watch a video I can click on the CC button. It highlights in white which means it’s “on”. But no subtitles appear.

Does this just mean the authors of the videos didn’t make subtitles. If so maybe the app should say “no captions available”. Or is this purely a problem with the app?

I’m functionally deaf and really wanna switch from having all my eggs in the YouTube basket but I’m having real trouble making PeerTube usable for me due to captions issues.

Hmm, it might also mean that subtitles are broken somehow or are still being transscribed by the Whisper AI that some instances run.

I am also fairly new to this, but noticed this as well. But I believe if that feature is generally disabled on that peertube instance the button doesn't show.
