Question

WRITE QUESTION HERE

The entire sub downloaded appeared in the first few seconds of the video.. This is the command I used:

youtube-dl -v --format bestvideo+bestaudio/best --embed-thumbnail --write-all-thumbnails --write-auto-sub --sub-lang en https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TkdrjFJNS4

Please help

this is the verbose log of the original failure:

Do try this with the nightly build (see #30839, in any case). Your version is even older than the completely obsolete official release.

Also, if this is happening you're not asking a question but reporting a bug. Follow the relevant issue template (#30839 again).

Hello, I'm also experiencing the same bug trying to download auto-generated English subtitles with

youtube-dl -v --write-auto-sub --sub-lang en --skip-download [URL]

I'm running version 2021.12.17
