I mistakenly downloaded over 200GB of playlists before realizing I didn't have the --write-auto-sub switch on. I would like to rerun youtube-dl against my playlists but have it only download the vtt files. I would like to do it with youtube-dl becuase it will automatically give them all the correct file name (has to match in my application).

I would like to know how to use youtube-dl to only download subtitles for all videos in a given playlist.

Thank you

--skip-download --sub-format vtt --write-sub.
