hi i am also having trouble getting subtitles... currently empty.
Hi, thank you all for opening and contributing to this issue!
The bug has been caused by a change on YouTube. We will investigate this and fix it shortly :)
I will keep you updated here in the meantime, thanks!

Today I have experience lack of subtitles too. The strange thing is that it happen three times in a row, then it downloaded successfully, then it happen again.
Hi Matt, thanks for sharing your insides. It looks like an A/B test from YouTube, so it can happen randomly that you only get them sometimes. Still, it's something we will have to fix.
We've got it planned for this sprint, so it should be resolved soon, thanks!

Just jumping in here that I’m having issue reliably getting subtitles as well. It seems the fail about 1/3 of the time, especially when doing multiple via a playlist. Single is a bit more reliable.

If this can't be fixed I need to find a different API provider...

Hi everyone! Again, thanks for patience. Recently we've changed our proxies so subtitles should be scraped reliably now. We're monitoring this with our automated testing and so far didn't encounter missing subtitle cases, but would like to hear from you - do you still have problems with this? If not, I'll close this issue soon

I will close this issue, but feel free to reopen if you encounter failing/missing subtitle downloads
