Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/YouG-o/YouTube-No-Translation/issues/90

Originally assigned to: @YouG-o on GitHub.

Problem

The video titles transmitted via the Browser integration addon to MPRIS are still the translated ones. See the part in the source code responsible.
It looks to me like it's getting it from some metadata. Maybe it's also a timing problem because it only updates the title once?

Proposed Solution

Somehow set it that it grabs/updates to the "correct" title

Additional Context

I tried fiddling around and running

navigator.mediaSession.metadata = new MediaMetadata({
  title: document.querySelector('#title').innerText,
});

fixed it but the thumbnail as cover art was gone

@YouG-o commented on GitHub (Sep 1, 2025):

I'll see what I can do.

But, I'm considering intercepting the request to YouTube and forcing it to return original titles directly in the API response. This should solve the issue everywhere, including MPRIS, without needing to patch the DOM or response afterwards.
Can't promise any ETA though.
