Compatibility with auto-generated captions

[JJRicks]

Issues are used primarily to track bugs in the project. Feature requests can be submitted either as an issue or here.

Description

Audio muting only currently works with pre-established captions, instead of auto-generated ones. (i.e. YouTube, where the majority of captions are auto generated)

Other details

Audio muting does however work with auto-generated captions if the user enables them at the exact time when a filtered word is on screen. This would be much more useful if audio is muted only at the time that the word is being spoken, instead of for the entire sentence afterwards, which I believe is possible with auto-generated captions. (the timing works out) I do realize that this is an experimental feature, but I'm quite grateful for it!
Thank you!

Thanks for the creating an issue here! I got your feature suggestion, but its easier to track it here. I will see what I can do. It's a little different than the other subtitles, but it should be possible. Thanks for testing the muting stuff in general, I'm glad you have been getting some use out of it.

Alright, I have released a beta update for Chrome, or I can attach a zip here if you would like to test it. Just let me know which supported browser you would like to try it in. It was quite a bit harder than expected, but I believe I got something to work.

My main browser is Firefox, but I'm basically interchangeable with Chrome. Thank you so much! Apologies for the troubles, I'll pitch ya a donation for how much utility I've gotten out APF for the last year. :D

I'll give it a go in Firefox if I can. :D I've been able to tweak the appearance of captions with the YouTube settings to make them almost invisible; this should be perfect. (Small red font, no background color)

Thanks so much for the donation, I really appreciate it! I have had a lot of fun working on the project, but I love hearing that other's find it useful as well. Here is a Firefox build. If it checks out, I'll go ahead and push a new release. Here are some quick instructions to get it working if you havent: Load Unpacked Extension Info.

Got it installed on a Nightly build, works perfectly! Thanks again, this is fantastic!
