Description

Hello! I would like to make a request for iq.com to be added to the supported sites. It is the international version of iQiyi so it is very similar. Also, I would love it if you guys could allow users to download subtitles since the videos are raw with soft subtitles. :)

This site does not require an account to watch the video, but I would appreciate it if you guys could get a VIP account so users can download 1080p videos. Only 720p videos and below are allowed for those without VIP subscriptions.

No problem! I just added it. 👍

Hopefully they can add it for the next release. It's just the same with the current iqiyi extractor. But different name only
