English subtitles for DRTV — translated client-side with your own LLM API key. Watch DR TV with English subtitles — no server, no data collection, just your browser and your favourite LLM. DRTV in English is a lightweight browser extension that adds English subtitles to Danish TV shows and documentaries on DR's streaming platform (dr.dk/drtv). It's perfect for expats, language learners, or anyone who wants to enjoy Danish content with English translations. How it works 1. Open any episode on dr.dk/drtv — the extension activates automatically. 2. Click the subtitle button — choose "English" from the injected menu. 3. Watch with English subtitles — translated cues appear as a native subtitle track. The extension captures the Danish subtitle file (.vtt) directly from DR's player, sends it to your chosen LLM provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint), and streams the English translation back. The whole process takes seconds. Why install this extension? - No backend, no proxy, no middleman — everything runs in your browser. Your subtitles go directly from DR to your LLM provider. - Privacy-first — your API key is stored locally in the browser. We don't collect, store, or transmit any personal data. - Bring your own API key — use your existing OpenAI, Anthropic, or Gemini account. Pay only for what you use. - Instant translation — subtitles are translated on-demand, cached locally for the current episode, and displayed seamlessly. - Native integration - English subtitles appear as a proper TextTrack on DR's player, not an overlay. Works with Widevine/DRM content. - Offline-friendly cache — once an episode is translated, the cache persists in IndexedDB for instant replay. What you need: - A valid API key from OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, or a custom OpenAI-compatible endpoint - Chrome browser Permissions explained This extension requests minimal permissions: - storage — save your API key and settings locally - webRequest / webNavigation — detect when DR's subtitle files load - https://www.dr.dk/* — communicate with DR's player - https://*/ (optional) — allow custom LLM endpoints if you self-host We don't track you, we don't serve ads, and we don't sell your data.
