Trying to download custom subtitles from a premier video error
Youtube has recently been removing custom subtitles for a bunch of people so I wanted to download them for an archive before they actually get removed fully. I had an error while trying to download [Touhou MV] Help me, ERINNNNNN!! [beatMARIO] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8z23t428kU) custom English subtitles. The command I used was yt-dlp -cookies-from-browser firefox -write-subs -sub-langs "en" -compat-options no-live-chat -skip-download "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8z23t428kU" because before I had used this command I kept getting 429 errors and it kept downloading only the livechat.json file when I didn’t care about the live chat.
After I did the command I just got the error: requested format is not available. Another command I tried was yt-dlp -write-subs -skip-download “https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8z23t428kU” this only downloaded the live chat file like I said earlier.
When I tried yt-dlp -write-subs -sub-lang "en" -skip-download "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8z23t428kU" it just said no subtitles for the requested language.
Oddly, when I use the command yt-dlp -list-subs “https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8z23t428kU” en (English) is a subtitle option in the list but does not show up when attempting to download anyway. You can also check the video itself and yes, it does have English subtitles.
Is there a way to download that custom subtitle file from this video? I think the error happened because it’s a premier video. Thanks in advance for help.
