[Enhancement] Switch to innertube for the captions - captions do not work on public instances #2567

Description

@unixfox

Is your enhancement request related to a problem? Please describe.
The current way of retrieving the captions is rate limited by google and captions doesn't work on popular instances.

Describe the solution you'd like
We should switch to the innertube for retrieving the captions because on innertube there is no rate limit (for the moment).

Describe alternatives you've considered

Install and use Invidious locally or switch to a less popular instances from https://instances.invidious.io

Additional context
