We can download it, but not process it any further (since ffmpeg doesnt support them)
See See https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues/631#issuecomment-893329480, https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/pull/247#issuecomment-827628350 for more details
you have in your command line ‘–convert-subs’, ‘srt’ try again with --convert-subs “srt” and then see if you can embed the subtitles.
