ITV UK Audio Muting Support

[ahkelly]

I would like to open the conversation relating to audio muting of ITV UK. Unfortunately following the normal directions I cannot find the subtitles in the elements.

Following 3. Video TextTrack Mode it does actually return the subtitles and below are the results. Hoping you can give some further guidance on what else I can try to get you the actual elements

It looks like this site is using the Video TextTrack based on what you discovered, so there aren't traditional elements to filter like the other sites.

Did you try to test the possible config output by the script you ran? (bottom of last screenshot). If you'd like to keep the other sites active as well, you can do so like this:

{
  "www.channel4.com": [
    {
      "displaySelector": "div.subtitles-container",
      "mode": "elementChild",
      "parentSelector": "div.subtitles-container",
      "tagName": "SPAN"
    }
  ],

  "www.itv.com": [
    {
      "mode": "cue",
      "language": "en"
    }
  ]
}

Actually as I saw this same result suggestion on each of the uk sites using that script I assumed it was the default when no specific/better option was available. I did try it initially, without luck. I may have forgotten to refresh the browser, which needs to be done for the changes to take effect.

Now that I tried it again, using exact json above, just briefly this afternoon (after a page refresh), it seems to be working. I'll let you know more once I have more of a chance to test. However as of now, the filtering of the subtitle works, the audio is muting and when I have captions hidden that is also working without any display hiccups.

That's great! I just noticed that script was a little out of date, so I've updated it on the page. For the rule, you'd really want it to be videoCueLanguage instead of language, like this:

{
  "www.itv.com": [
    {
      "mode": "cue",
      "videoCueLanguage": "en"
    }
  ]
}

I am yet to have any issues with this, all is working great.

That is awesome news! I'll make sure to get it added in the next version. Thanks for all your help in supporting these. Feel free to suggest another if one comes up.

I just submitted version 2.32.2 which now includes this config. You should be able to remove it from the custom sites if you'd like. I generally recommend using the rules included with the filter, just in case an update happens to the rule or the filter itself.
