3UawxEP33FE has no subtitles

Description

Video contains subtitles. I had no trouble getting the subtitles (even dowload them) until yesterday :(
This seems to be the culprit:

I think I am having the same problem. A video that I can watch with subtitles will not download them, although similar videos have no issue. ( https://youtu.be/bdlgsSMc09I made by the same user has the same issue ).

Same here. Seems related to the video privacy setting: if I set the video privacy setting to Public instead of Unlisted, youtube-dl correctly fetches subtitles.

I can confirm the issue is only for Unlisted videos, like this one for example.

Using youtube-dl v 2020.03.24 and calling:

youtube-dl --list-subs --all-sub "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvIDEzO60w4"

Expected

To get one sub available pt

@jaimeMF Would you have any pointers for possible workaround for this? Basically video.google.com/timedtext?hl=en&type=list&v={youtube_id}&disable_polymer=true doesn't work anymore for Unlisted videos as of two weeks ago.

If saw in the git commit history you worked on this part of the code so I'm wondering if there was another option for getting the subtitles. Can we imitate how the browser client does it? Any pointers would be appreciated, and if it seems feasible I can try to fix.

Okay, this issue seems to have been only transient (for about two weeks).

I just tried running:

youtube-dl --list-subs --all-sub "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvIDEzO60w4"

and got no errors and the correct output (matching what I see online):

@starenka @ttocs47 I checked on the videos you posted too and I can get subs for them now. So motion to close this issue .... and hope it never comes back :)
