Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

OpenLoad videos can have subtitle files, but they are not returned when using --list-subs. I did not manage to find where the file is specified in the page, or in the Javascript, but when observing the page with web tools, a .vtt file is clearly downloaded, with a specific name scheme.

I think what there is to do is to find how this name scheme work, in order to download the subtitle file.

Example of subtitle files corresponding to the two videos specified above :

• https://thumb.oloadcdn.net/subtitle/rjC09fkPLYs/vt8zTaIaVqQ.vtt

Subtitles on openload will be recognized in the next version. Thanks for the report and the example.

Ok, I found where the vtt comes from. In the page HTML, we can see : <track kind="captions" src="https://thumb.oloadcdn.net/subtitle/jzsMDm13XWE/tYAtG45F4As.vtt" srclang="fr" label="French" default />

I don’t really know Python, so I don’t think I can provide the real code, but I think finding the track tag in the page and parsing subtitle info from here should do the trick.

Just for info, there appears to be more track tags in the source, but only the one(s) with the real subtitle will have the src attribute specified.
