Question

WRITE QUESTION HERE

I know there is a pull request to update the funimation extractor to allow it to download the subtitles, but It's been almost 2 months now with no progress. I find it very tedious to manually download the vtt file every time especially when compared to the ease of use of downloading crunchyroll videos with subtitles.

How long will it take for the pull request to be merged if it does end up being merged?
And if it's not merged, how to I download that branch so I can stop having to manually download the subtitles?

#24906 is my first pull request so I don't have a good idea. Considering how many open pull requests there are, I don't expect it getting merged any time soon if ever.

And if it's not merged, how to I download that branch so I can stop having to manually download the subtitles?

You can git clone my fork or simply download the code from that page and run youtube-dl from the source folder.
E.g., python "C:\path_to_downloaded_code\youtube-dl\youtube_dl\__main__.py"
