Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

Downloading video's works perfect. But subtitles are available with the video's on the vrt website. I've tried every possible command for downloading these subtitles but only the video gets downloaded.

Hopefully this is possible to implement.

The python file where the vrtnu download is implemented is called canvas.py
