Add subtitles from internet as VTT tracks to HTML5 video element on the page

What is vttlive?
vttlive is a unique Chrome extension conceived to enhance your video viewing experience. With this tool, users can conveniently search for and add subtitles sourced from the internet directly to HTML5 video elements on a webpage. It offers a page action for selected sites, executing a subtitle search on podnapisi.net that aligns with the video content currently on display. If a matching subtitle is found, it is automatically added as a track element to your video. This means vttlive enables users to enjoy subtitled videos even when the original content lacks them.

Summary

Provides a page action (icon on the address bar) for selected sites (as specified in extension options). When page action is clicked a search is made to podnapisi.net for a subtitle matching the video element on the page or in an iframe.

If a subtitle is found it's added as track element to the video. Meaning that you'll get subtitles to a video that otherwise would have none. :)

User reviews
For some reason, Youtube's captions weren't working for every video I tried to watch. I tried everything to fix it but it did not work. I decided to get a subtitle extension and chose this one. It didn't work, I was very dissapointed. Not 1 star because it could just be my device having problems with captions or something.
