Rosetube does not play original audio track

Function Rosetube
#1

I am encountering more and more videos with terrible AI generated Audio tracks in foreign language. This is very irritating. It started with Russian. Now I’m getting tracks with Donald Duck speaking German. I can understand it, but that’s not the point. I just want the original audio track.

I get this more and more on equipment reviews where it makes it unwatchable. I wouldn’t even want this in my own language. It’s like a very bad parody.

Can you please make Rosetube select the original audiotrack? Or at least let me select which one I prefer, like on other Android applications?

You can think of RoseTube as 99% similar to YouTube.

RoseTube videos do not have the ability to change the audio to another country’s language.
Please take a title or screenshot of the video in question and send it to me.
Do you see any difference when you play the same video on YouTube?

Please explain in more detail.

For instance when I played this I got a very strange German voice

And here’s another one

On this one I even got a female voice

If I play those in the Rosetube app it selects the AI generated German audiotrack for me. I’m in the Netherlands, that’s close but very irritating AI overdub.

If I use my phone for Rosetube I get the default audio, but on my RS250 I always get some AI crap.

Now if I open the last one in my YouTube app I can choose the audio if I would want to deviate from the default. But in Rosetube I always get the wrong one, just as google decides for me. Sometimes German, even Russian. Yeah, that’s real fun. :triumph:

YouTube has a feature that allows you to select and play multiple audio tracks depending on the video, but it seems difficult for Rosetube to support that feature.

On Rosetube, the language set as number 1 in the audio track settings on YouTube is played as audio for the video.

We will check if we can add that feature and add it if possible.

That is exactly what I suspected. It depends on the order of tracks and picks the first. That’s how I got Russian.

As far as we can tell, RoseTube does not support changing audio tracks.

But I noticed there are appearing more and more AI translated tracks since a month or so. It is getting very irritating. AI is starting to poison all of the internet.

Yesterday I was watching a newly posted video, just an hour old, enjoying the original voice. And then suddenly the video hickupped … and continued with the freshly AI generated German voice.

This made so angry! And it’s happening to more and more videos. Especially equipment reviews I like to watch. And even the ‘translation’ is full of errors.
