This allows inserting arbitrary extra arguments into the youtube-dl command-line within each podcast feed entry. This allows, for example, requesting that youtube-dl embed subtitles and captions into the video file, or configuring additional postprocessor arguments. No effort has been made to make sure no incompatible arguments are provided, with the expectation that the end-user will understand what's possible, and that this is an option expressly for advanced users. This would fix mxpv#162,and theoretically also mxpv#136!

I’d love to be able to include subtitles and captions (where available) in the video files. I’ve confirmed that Apple Podcasts supports these captions (it appears to support all the same formats the usual iOS video player does), and it’s likely that other players would support some, or many, subtitle formats in the resultant mp4 videos.
It’s possible to add something like
--write-sub --write-auto-sub --embed-substo the youtube-dl command to allow for this, which will download either the manually-supplied, or automatic captions for youtube videos.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
