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.

I don't use remote runners on my instance yet, but I know that if it's a video where someone is whispering, the AI does not pick it up very well and most of the transcript end up blank.

Yeah I guess, but in my case the identical video is transcribed fine if I let the Whisper AI model run on the CPU, it just takes much longer to complete.

That is weird. If you haven't already, you should report it to their Github page.
