Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

OpenLoad videos can have subtitle files, but they are not returned when using --list-subs. I did not manage to find where the file is specified in the page, or in the Javascript, but when observing the page with web tools, a .vtt file is clearly downloaded, with a specific name scheme.

I think what there is to do is to find how this name scheme work, in order to download the subtitle file.

Example of subtitle files corresponding to the two videos specified above :

• https://thumb.oloadcdn.net/subtitle/rjC09fkPLYs/vt8zTaIaVqQ.vtt

Ok, I found where the vtt comes from. In the page HTML, we can see :
<track kind="captions" src="https://thumb.oloadcdn.net/subtitle/jzsMDm13XWE/tYAtG45F4As.vtt" srclang="fr" label="French" default />

I don't really know Python, so I don't think I can provide the real code, but I think finding the track tag in the page and parsing subtitle info from here should do the trick.

Just for info, there appears to be more track tags in the source, but only the one(s) with the real subtitle will have the src attribute specified.

Steven Universe is a copyrighted product of Cartoon Network. Do you have other examples with subtitles?

[bishiboosh]

You can use https://openload.co/embed/rjC09fkPLYs which is an upload of http://lachuteduneplume.free.fr/?-English-, an open-source movie. It contains english subtitles, which can be found as seen previously with the track tag

Do you need me to remove the example links in the first message to avoid copyright issues ?

[yan12125]

Thanks for the new example.

Yeah it should be better to do so.
