  • I've verified and I assure that I'm running youtube-dl 2017.12.10
  • At least skimmed through the README, most notably the FAQ and BUGS sections
  • Searched the bugtracker for similar issues including closed ones

What is the purpose of your issue?

  • Site support request (request for adding support for a new site)
  • Feature request (request for a new functionality)

Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

youtube-dl supports Twitter (and works great) but it does not seem to find the subtitles/captions. Here is a video with subtitles - see the "CC" button in bottom right of video player: https://twitter.com/ResidentFOX/status/941025075049803776

When I perform the "youtube-dl --list-subs" command, it says the video has no subtitles (even though it does):

Would be very helpful if youtube-dl could get these. Thanks.

@remitamine Hi, here is a working Twitter video with subtitles:

https://twitter.com/themandalorian/status/1188986316194635777

You can see in the video player (at least on desktop) a CC button to turn on captions.

this depends on #6106, so support for this type of subtitles has to be added before working on this issue,
