To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

What code / cli command are you executing?

For example: I am running

yt --transcript https://www.youtube.com/watch\?v\=_0fy4vvUgiw > transcript.txt

Which Python version are you using?

Python 3.11.9

Which version of youtube-transcript-api are you using?

not sure it's via fabric-ai. But most video gets the captions

Expected behavior

Describe what you expected to happen.

I expected to receive the english transcript. It works for most videos

Actual behaviour

I see on youtube that captions is disabled. Maybe it's why.

Instead I received the following error message:

"Transcript not available in the selected language (en). (\nCould not retrieve a transcript for the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdJBqCI4dpU! This is most likely caused by:\n\nSubtitles are disabled for this video\n\nIf you are sure that the described cause is not responsible for this error and that a transcript should be retrievable, please create an issue at https://github.com/jdepoix/youtube-transcript-api/issues. Please add which version of youtube_transcript_api you are using and provide the information needed to replicate the error. Also make sure that there are no open issues which already describe your problem!)"
