So maybe someone has a suggestion on this already being possible? Please share specifics. I went to yt-dlp GitHub section and it said you'll be blocked if you make a mistake in template to submit. 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'. 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? Subtitles > Options: Download Automatic Subtitles file (YouTube only) vs Download Subtitles files for these languages: English? Under 'Subtitle,' select 'Embed subtitles in video file.' Then click 'Download.

For 4K Video Downloader, copy the video URL from YouTube and paste it into the software. I posted this initially under TarTube as linked and quoted below: Use a YouTube video downloader website or software that supports subtitles, such as 4K Video Downloader or VLC Media Player.
