Youtubeexplode: Some spaces are missing in closed captions

[foadabdollahi]

some words in arabic subtitle need space between them. cause is remove some tag for convert to text

[SlowLogicBoy]

Can you provide:

1. Youtube video example
2. Expected result
3. Acctual result

Because I'm not familiar with Arabic languages, and how they should be spaced/formatted.

[foadabdollahi]

thanks,

var client = new YoutubeClient();
var trackInfos = await client.GetVideoClosedCaptionTrackInfosAsync("_QdPW8JrYzQ");
var trackInfo = trackInfos.First(t => t.Language.Code == "en");
**trackInfo.Url+="&tlang=fa";**
var track = await client.GetClosedCaptionTrackAsync(trackInfo);

var caption = track.GetByTime(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(61));
var text = caption.Text; // "And the game was afoot."

trackInfo.Url+="&tlang=fa";
this isn't valid because it has no public setter.

Your link gives 404 for me.

The video you linked does not have arabic subtitles anyway

[foadabdollahi]

yes.
if you on auto translate and set any language like persian or arabic. you can see in your inspection one new file load and add to page. this file is translate of subtitle. and in youtubeexplode some remove that is need in arrabic words.
notfound is cause it has some sign with expirtion and after some minutes it lost.

if you check you inspection and network tab. and set on auto translate you can see your link

[foadabdollahi]

trackInfo.Url+="&tlang=fa";

i create new object and set this value on that.
and it was work correct. :D

It seems to be caused by this issue: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2737636/c-sharp-linq-to-xml-missing-space-character

[foadabdollahi]

maybe,
i think for remove other tag inside p tag regex can be helpfull

[foadabdollahi]

  var tagsExpression = new Regex(@"</?.+?>");
 return tagsExpression.Replace(input, " ");

somethig like this

There's apparently an option to preserve whitespace, I fixed it.
