  • Automatic subtitles are also possible to grab by using --write-auto-sub, example:
    yt-dlp --write-auto-sub [video url]

    This next example will attempt to download English subtitles and if that fails, downloads the automatic subtitles instead:
    yt-dlp --sub-lang en --write-sub --write-auto-sub [video url]

    Note - you can not download automatic subtitles at the same time as language subtitles, which means if you wanted English and automatic I’d recommend the --skip-download flag for the second command, which will prevent downloading the entire video again:
    yt-dlp --sub-lang en --write-sub [video url]
    yt-dlp --write-auto-sub --skip-download [video url]
