If --convert-subs is used and subtitle file is 404 - ffmpeg dies with FileNotFoundError #19921

I'd say also make youtube-dl retry downloading of video info, subtitles, etc according to the --retries option if it isn't a HTTP 404 error. |

Hi, if the website url provides a list of subtitles files but youtube-dl is unable to download a certain subtitle file (because of a server 404 error), after that youtube-dl does not remember this happened and tries to convert the subtitle file anyways (because of --convert-subs) thus making ffmpeg dies with a FileNotFoundError error.
My proposed solution would be for youtube-dl to remember if a file wasn't available through the download process and ignore the following actions like converting the subtitles (and even trying to embed them inside the container).
Regards.
