On YouTube, captions are not actually "part" of a video -- but rather an accessory
(from a completely different set of servers) which is attached to a video. Â This also
helps explain why after anyone downloads a video, those subtitles are never there.
Your problem is probably just temporary, since it's really an internal YouTube bug.
The other thing you can try is to delete your Cache + Cookies + Browsing History,
then shutdown and reboot. Â That way, those non-captions won't be "stuck'' in your
computer's Memory, plus a fresh set of Cookies might bypass the YouTube glitch.
