Subtitles download

Hi.

Is it planned to make ClipGrab able to download video external subtitles ? I think mainly about Youtube's subtitles.

Regards.

    Just FYI, until then:

    I am currently able to get youtube videos and their subtitles (in my own language, English, if they are available) with the python script called "youtube-dl".(1)

    Example:

    $ /usr/bin/youtube-dl --write-sub --sub-format 'vtt/srt' --sub-lang en https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxxxxxxx

    This will download and create two files: the video/audio file (usually as .mkv or .webm) and the subtitle file (as .en.vtt or .en.srt):

    Movie-Title-xxxxxxxx.mkv
    Movie-Title-xxxxxxxx.en.srt

    Now I can watch the movie in vlc(2):

    $ vlc Movie-Title-xxxxxxxx.mkv

    and vlc will automatically see the .srt (or .vtt) file and use it.

    I noticed that youtube-dl also works for vimeo, dailymotion, and many others.

    (1) http://rg3.github.com/youtube-dl/ (but it is already conveniently available in my OpenSUSE Linux distro repository as the "youtube-dl" package.)

    (2) vlc: Videolan Player: https://www.videolan.org/vlc/ (this too is in my repo, though I do have to go to the Packman repo to get some extra codecs)

    Hmm... Clipgrab seems to be open source? I did see a project about it on Github, but the website doesn't immediately make it obvious that it is.

    If clipgrab would be open source, I would have coded it myself. I'll look for other options.

    +1 for the feature request

    Is a very important feature that would be implemented soon.

    Thanks

    I would also appreciate very much if you implement subtitles (from youtube videos).
    Best regards and thank you for the great app.

    Apparently this wasn't implemented :) would you consider adding this feature to ClipGrab?
