[Closed] Can't turn on learn mode.

I just watched a show with learn mode on, and now nothing, including that show I just finished, will work with learn mode in Chinese.  Even using the shows listed as having full compatability with learn mode don't work.  the toggle shows up as greyed out and unavailable.  Sometimes it works for Korean, but I'm trying to use Chinese!

    Hello,

    I have also been frustrated that Learn Mode seems to not be available in most Mandarin shows, even though they have 100% English subtitles. (the Learn Mode switch is generally greyed-out in everything I've been watching) I saw another help center post where the answerer gave a link to a list of Mandarin shows that are supposed to have Learn Mode available: 

    https://www.viki.com/collections/316981l-learn-the-basics-chinese

    I tried a couple of the shows on this list today, and Learn Mode does indeed work there, at least on episode 1!

    However, I still would like to add my voice here, to say that more extensive implementation of Learn Mode for Mandarin shows with 100% English subtitles would be really, really appreciated.

    Just in case it is thought to be some technical difficulty still... FYI I'm using the latest version of Mac OS, and I have tried Chrome, Safari, and Firefox browsers, cleared the cache, did all of the above.

    Thanks!

    Clem

    I figured out a workaround. As long as the show has plenty of mandarin, if I open it in an incognito browser and start learn mode there I can then open it in a normal tab and it works fine.

    What browser+operating system are you using? I just tried incognito mode with Chrome on Mac OS and it still doesn't seem to work.
