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.
It will only show the “CC” icon, if there’s subtitles. However, as already mentioned, the AI generated subtitles might be empty and therefore you will not see any subtitles.
I noticed on my tests that if I run a worker for creating subtitles, and enable GPU accelleration, those subtitles end up blank. Probably an issue with my setup, but I imagine this could be a common failure mode.
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.
