Automatically Disable CC Without Being Logged Into YouTube Account???

[Blades07]

Is it even possible to automatically disable CC on the YouTube player WITHOUT being logged into your YouTube account? If so, this would be an awesome option to add to the YouTube Enhancer add-on. Perhaps this could be done in the custom CSS settings, and if so, how???
I'm really sick and tired of going to YouTube to watch one video WITHOUT logging into my account and the CC being automatically turned on! I'm just looking for a way to automatically disable CC without being logged into my account. Thanks for any and all help with this!

@Blades07 i think that would be possible.

I've seen scrips that are supposed to enable CC, so I'm guessing that it can be disabled as well. I took a look at these scripts in a text editor looking for a way to change a number value or whatever to make the script do the opposite of what it was created for, but I couldn't find any indication of what part of the script to edit. Yes, I know, I should probably learn how to write scripts before I try to edit them. 🙄

@livingflore would you mind looking into implementing this feature.

I don't mean to be a pest, but I was wondering if the option to automatically disable the CC on YouTube is being looked into or being worked on?
At this point, I'd seriously pay good money to have the ability to permanently disable this nonsense that YouTube either doesn't care about or is ramming it in people's face whether they want it or not!!! >...>

[Blades07]

I haven't looked into it but it seems possible. I have been busy.

Yeah, I would think that it would be, and that is why I'd LOVE to know how it could be done, specially since YouTube doesn't even honor this setting when you're logged into your YouTube account and have CC disabled.
Oh, and I understand being busy, and I highly appreciate your replies. Do you know of any good forums that I could go to and get help with this issue? Thanks again for any and all help you may be able to provide! 👍

@Blades07 I'll look into implementing such a feature later today being Thursday September 26th

@Blades07 I have looked into how to enable/disable captions with JavaScript on the YouTube page. It is possible I will start working on the feature soon.

// Get the player element
const playerContainer = isWatchPage() ? document.querySelector<YouTubePlayerDiv>("div#movie_player") : null;
// If player element is not available, return
if (!playerContainer) return;
// Disable captions
playerContainer.unloadModule("captions");
// Enable captions
playerContainer.loadModule("captions");
