Description

This pull request fixes the auto-translated subtitles returning HTTP 429 errors and blocking the video playback with an error screen. The first change is to request auto-translated subtitles as SRT instead of WebVTT as that works for some reason and the second change is to only log subtitle 429 errors instead of showing an error screen to avoid blocking video playback.

Testing

  1. Make sure your FreeTube display language is not Russian
  2. Open https://youtu.be/1lOcv8NWsCo
  3. Select the subtitle track that has been auto-translated into English
  4. You should see the subtitles
