Download Subtitle Files for Offline Viewing

[tdadvocate]

Describe your suggested feature

When downloading the video, it should also download the subtitles file and create a new hard sub format. This way users can watch offline completely while traveling. Especially since most sites don't seem to do hard subs due to them generally sucking for multi-language use.

I just wanted to add, it seems like the original source had a bad subtitle link. I still think it would be nice to allow users to automatically create a hardcoded subtitled version of the video so that they could use other video player apps. Especially since the user cannot just search their downloaded videos within the app. If a source no longer has the video file, there is no way to watch the downloaded content.

Are you aware if this is possible without a big and complex dependency such as ffmpeg?
Your suggestion is good, but if it takes a disproportionate amount of time to implement, use and maintain then it will likely not be added.

Pretty sure it does it, it's just that you have to apply the subtitles automatically
At least that's my experience
