Ability to download just the captions as an .SRT

Open brendanefro opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

Hello!

Can you please consider adding the ability to download just the captions as an SRT and skip the video entirely?

Thanks!

I think that you can add --vcodec none --vcodec none to your command with subtitles download enabled and then extract the srt from the "empty" video. It's just a guess this, not sure it works.

Alternatively, if you are ok to do some manual labour you can use the --simulate flag with subtitles download enable and it will print info for each video, including the subtitles url

Let me know it it works
