Techniques are described to provide string customization. In an implementation, a menu document is generated that specifies one or more menu items to be included in a menu that correspond to one or more actions available via code of a module. A string document is generated that specifies one or more strings to represent the one or more menu items in the menu. The menu document and the string document are made available to a client that includes the module to output the menu having the one or more strings to represent the menu items. The one or more strings are selectable to cause a corresponding action to be performed by the module.

Techniques are described to provide closed captioning preferences. In an implementation, a user interface is output that is configured to accept preferences for a plurality of closed captions. A first one of the closed captions is output, based on the preferences, when available via a particular channel. A second one of the closed captions is output, based on the preferences, when the first closed caption is not available via the particular channel.

Closed captioning preferences

Audio stream management techniques are described. In an implementation, a unique representation is generated by a client for each of a plurality of audio streams associated with television content received at the client. Each of the unique representations is displayed in a user interface at the client to be selectable by a user to cause output of a respective audio stream with the television content.
