Description

Hello,

I've tried to download a video on videodelivery with options for subtitles but youtube-dl says that there isn't any subtitles associated with the video.

The m3u8 file show that subtitles are possible (below). Please, can you add subtitle support for this provider ?

This should be fixed by back-porting the m3u8 processing from yt-dlp.

@palight

... While waiting for things to be back-ported, you can download "in-manifest" subtitles via your trusted friend ffmpeg 😉 ...
From the master HLS manifest you posted,

https://videodelivery.net/e9b513b0d66329997b0054d20356b02e/manifest/video.m3u8

... it emerges that the en subtitles "variant" manifest is:

https://videodelivery.net/e9b513b0d66329997b0054d20356b02e/manifest/stream_te634b76d15e4daa9f1df88fc86028587_r161166111.m3u8

... while the Czech subs one is:

https://videodelivery.net/e9b513b0d66329997b0054d20356b02e/manifest/stream_tba3e9858d784df665c88d27b4e9f84ef_r95446248.m3u8

You should already have an ffmpeg binary to complement your youtube-dl installation (you didn't mention OS specifics), so via an incantation similar to:

ffmpeg -v 8 -stats -i "https://videodelivery.net/e9b513b0d66329997b0054d20356b02e/manifest/stream_tba3e9858d784df665c88d27b4e9f84ef_r95446248.m3u8" "e9b513b0d66329997b0054d20356b02e.cz.srt"

you should be able to grab the cz subs (and similarly for the en ones, if you so desire):

1
00:00:00,054 --> 00:00:02,132
Ahoj mámo, ahoj táto.

2
00:00:02,212 --> 00:00:05,657
Vítej u prvního kurzového audia, 
které tě provede dětskými

3
00:00:05,737 --> 00:00:08,532
prožitky se třemi 
různými rodiči.
...

Kindest regards 😄
