Description
YouTube has started requiring PO tokens on the caption/subtitle URLs and if you don't provide one they return a 200 response code but with an empty response, which makes shaka-player throw an
INVALID_TEXT_HEADERerror. Most users will only notice this because the subtitles won't show up but sometimes this seems to cause problems with navigating to the next video.This pull request adds the content/video ID based PO token to the captions URL, the same one that is used for the
/playerrequest.Screenshots
See linked issue for a screenshot of the error message.
