Can't download or embed subtitles for certain videos

nothing2obvi opened this issue · comments

I'm using the same exact preset (made of multiple presets) for different playlists of videos, but there are certain videos that subtitles just won't download or embed. I have the files set to convert to mkv.

Here is an example of a video.

These are the subtitle plugin settings which are on the preset listed at the bottom of a set of presets:

subtitles:
      subtitles_type: "srt"
      embed_subtitles: True
      languages:
        - "en"
        - "ko"
        - "ja"
        - "es"
        - "tl"
      allow_auto_generated_subtitles: True

I have even tried downloading the subtitles for that video using subtitles_name but nothing downloads. I have also tried setting subtitles_type to vtt.

For most of the videos I download, it can embed subtitles successfully.

Can you provide a specific example video where this happens

Thanks for your reply. I did in my original post ("example").

Oh, lol my bad. I will try to reproduce next week once I'm back from traveling

Sounds good. Thanks!
