YouTube Captions turn on automatically

by tychoregter

So, lately the captions in the YouTube app on my Android TV turn on automatically at random, when I turn it off a few videos later it's on again for no reason. They're really annoying because I won't need English captions when I watch an English video. Do you guys have an idea what the reason for this is and how I can permanently disable them again. I'm experiencing this issue since a couple of days and haven't had any issues before that. I checked my YouTube settings on the TV but I can't an option to turn the captions off (I think it was there before but it seems like they removed it) I have captions turned off on my phone too so that shouldn't be the reason either.

There is no solution I could find. Happens to me also from time to time. Google just keeps on playing games either intentionally or unintentionally. It starts working as intended in a couple of days of forced subtitles.

Since the most recent Android TV update my Google Play movies closed captions turn on every single time I watch a movie regardless of how many times I turn them off

Been happening for me too for over a year now I think. On the Shield but also on their LG WebOS app.

It's driving me nuts.

I never have this issue when watching YTTV on AppleTV or Roku. Android TV watching is very quirky at times.

I have 2 Sony TVs and stopped watching YTTV through them because of some of the quirks I was getting.

If you have AppleTV or get it some day it works incredibly well with YTTV. Roku is pretty good with it but sometimes the fast forward on recordings is a little quirky.

Also YTTV on using AppleTV is really fast.

Try turning captions off in your Android TV system settings. Should be under accessibility, I think.

This has been bugging me as well. There's a disable function in the web browser, but that does not seem to link to your account and follow to the TV. I have to manually disable captions on all videos now... Really annoying.

Did anybody found a solution ?

Yeah, it's really annoying. Sony TV here.
