SF 6.1.9.7 - No subtitles for IQIYI (iq.com)

I was glad to see that in 6.1.9.7 SF had fixed the problem that had resulted in the failure to analyze iq.com videos. However, when downloading the video SF still does not download the subtitles. Two examples from today are: Story of Cunning Palace - Episode 1 and Go East - Episode 3. Log attached:

Without VIP access I see in SF only the message:
"The website currently not supported" - so I can't test

You used "MKV (FFmpeg)" and "Remux Into File"
With this setting there are often problems ..
.. try it again with "Extract to SRT file"

Otherwise you can dl subs also with yt-dlp - example:
[code]yt-dlp --write-subs --skip-download --sub-langs en --sub-format srt "https://www.iq.com/play/story-of-kunning-palace-cantonese-ver-episode-1-1vx9e6yz46o?lang=en_us"[/code]

oops I was in the wrong directory - SF 6196 ..
.. with 6197 and "Extract to SRT file" no problem:

Can I ask which module to use to download iq.com videos?

The default YT Downloader (not YT Movies & TV)

I had actually tried downloading both ways - with extracting to a srt file and remuxing into the file with negative results. However, I just switched from MKV to MP4 and was now able to download the subtitles by extracting to a srt file. Apparently, the YouTube downloader and/or IQIYI don't like MKV files.
