Apple TV+ Not Muting Words

[weidjoe]

_The audio on apple.tv+ is not muting curse words.
I followed instructions provided on #323 but nothing worked

There was no muting on any of the shows or movies provided through apple.tv+

@weidjoe thanks for reporting the issue. It looks like there has been a pretty big update to their site's underlying page structure. I've updated the status here and will update this issue when I have more to report.

This custom audio config should at least get muting working again:

{
  "tv.apple.com": [
    {
      "mode": "elementChild",
      "parentSelector": "div.video-player div.video-container",
      "showSubtitles": 0,
      "subtitleSelector": ":scope div > div",
      "tagName": "DIV",
      "videoSelector": "div.video-player div.video-container video"
    }
  ]
}

Caveats:

1. Will only mute the first time seeing the captions/subtitles. If you want to re-watch part of the video with muting, you'll need to refresh the page.
2. Caption hiding isn't supported and might break filtering.

I will work to fix those remaining items, but wanted to share this in case someone wanted to use it now.

IMPORTANT: Make sure to use "Normal" mode, not "Deep" anymore (more details here).

This should now be fixed in version 2.38.0. For best results, make sure to remove any custom config for Apple TV+ that you may have added previously. This latest version should also handle caption hiding and muting while re-watching.

If you have a chance to test it out, let me know how it goes and if you have any other feedback.
