Subtitles are not converted to .srt when skipping download. If you remove --skip-download the subtitle file is converted. This should be fixed so that the subtitle file is always converted.

$ youtube-dl --verbose --write-sub --all-subs --convert-subtitles srt --skip-download https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXPSMzHHwOI

@dstftw: Duplicate of which issue?

(I couldn't find anything similar when skimming existing reports.)

PS! Could you change your configuration so that the issue number of the other report is automatically printed in a report when setting the report as a duplicate?
