Duplicate of #9809.

No it's not a duplicate.

youtube-dl -i -k --restrict-filenames --all-subs 'http://svtplay16o-f.akamaihd.net/i/se/open/20160429/1137710-001A/PG-1137710-001A-BRON-04_,988,240,348,456,636,1680,2796,.mp4.csmil/master.m3u8'

That works, but is saved as master-master.mp4 and no subtitles are downloaded.
