It would be great if the app could connect to my NFB website account, so that: 1. I can sync my playlists 2. Use my university's access to campus films on the mobile app The last update was in November 2023, and it was only for some translations. So I'm not confident that these features I want will come.

Edit: problem resolved and captioning is fixed. No closed captioning.. I contacted support via the Chromecast app because I cannot find the settings for Captioning. The response was as follows: "Hello, Thank you for your email, The option is at the bottom right of the video player. " There aren't any settings on the video/video player/Chromecast or on the phone app. I followed up the email with screenshots showing the problem and I got no response. Disappointed.
