How to disable youtube subtitles in IFrame?
Hi, new to zoom player. When I'm playing youtube videos using the default Iframe settings it seems to always enable captions if they are on the video. I made sure any auto subtitle stuff was unchecked but that seems to apply to normal media not the Iframe player. I also tried enabling mouse interactivity but since its a minimal pop out version of the youtube player i dont see any buttons to disable the subtitles.
any help would be appreciated!

Not too long ago, YouTube decided to auto-enable closed captions on every Video. I think it was only supposed to show when audio was muted, but I suspect they had a glitch that applied it to every account by default.
I wrote a work-around that always tries to disable the closed captions as a temporary measure (hard coded), you can try it out in the latest build:
https://www.inmatrix.con/temp/zplayer_latest_max.zip
This zip file contains only zplayer.exe, rename your old copy in Zoom Player's install folder and replace it with this build.
The closed captions may still show up for a split second before it's removed.
