I went to yt-dlp GitHub section and it said you'll be blocked if you make a mistake in template to submit. Add subtitles to MP4, AVI, MOV or any other video manually or with an SRT. When you have your answer, you can add them to Edit > General download options. So you need to ask someone else, perhaps on Reddit or the yt-dlp developers themselves.įor comparison, I thought these download options would do that, but they don't: I experimented with this, but I didn't find the right combination of download options that guarantees 'either automatically-generated English subtiles or creator-added subtitles'. In this context, the most enlightening sources are the YouTube videos produced by the networks and their sympathisers. for English - whether they are added by Creator / YouTuber or auto generated by YouTube engine.īecause it seems a bunch of times I am not getting any subtitles/ cc with the video?
