I terminated youtube-dl, but you get the point...

Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

youtube-dl --write-auto-sub --sub-lang en 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PnSqSuKO7a4'

I expect it to download English auto-captions, but it instead downloads every language Youtube offers as a translation. I think --sub-lang en fails to affect --write-auto-sub (does it only affect --write-sub?)

[debug] User config: ['--all-subs']

[appleton-tom]

The answer is in your submission. By including '--all-subs' you get all the subs.
'--sub-lang en' does not over-ride '--all-subs'

I use '--write-sub --write-auto-sub --sub-lang en'

This will download the regular subtitles if they exist, if not it tries to download the auto-generated subs.

Issue was, adding --all-subs to ~/.config/youtube-dl/config was affecting the execution of ~/.config/mpv/mpv.conf etc. So I cleaned up youtube-dl/config.

in mpv.conf
