This should be possible. Can you please provide a Youtube url as an example and quote what the subtitle of this video is?

As I understand it, subtitles can be provided in multiple languages - not sure how we'd want to handle that in the UI.

Maybe on the download screen we have a checkbox for "include subtitles" and a drop-down for which language?

Or, on the screen where you provide the video ID we add a checkbox for "also look for subtitles" (could be passed in as a parameter).

Then we would know to look for available subtitle languages - I'm assuming somewhere youtube provides a list of available subtitle languages so we don't have to guess.

Finally, maybe a config option to always try to get subtitles in a language chosen by the installer?

@NOPENN LittleYoutube can parse youtube subtitle, and also export it as srt format if you need it..

Of course, you will need to save the srt first before download it from php..
