Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/YouG-o/YouTube-No-Translation/issues/129

Originally assigned to: @YouG-o on GitHub.

Description:
The extension restores the original audio correctly on normal YouTube video pages, but it does not work on embedded YouTube players.

On websites like https://w2g.tv/ the YouTube auto-dubbing / auto-translation voice is still active and the extension does not switch to the original soundtrack.

Steps to Reproduce:

Open https://w2g.tv/
Play any YouTube video in the embedded player
The auto-dubbing remains enabled
Open the same video directly on youtube.com → the original audio is restored correctly

Environment:

Browser: Firefox 144.0.2 (64-bit)
Extension Version: v2.17.2
OS: Windows 11
YouTube Language: German
YouTube Account: Logged in

Example Video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0G5In8sqjDY
(But the issue occurs with all embedded videos)

Extension Settings:

[ X] Original Titles
[ X] Original Descrptions
[X ] Original Thumbnails
[ X] Audio language preference : Original
Subtitles language preference :
YouTube Data API v3

Additional Context

The issue appears on all embedded videos, not only one.
Works correctly when opened directly on YouTube.
No errors in browser console.
It appears the extension logic does not run or cannot access player audio settings in embedded iframes.
