Problem with subtitles

hfranked

There seems to be a problem with subtitles when downloading from Apple TV+. It has been going on for a very long time so it seems to not matter which version of StreamFab you are using. Problem is that it creates several duplicate lines now and then in the srt file (doesn't matter if it is external or inside). Example is Murderbot season one episode 1.
Only solution for the moment is to edit the srt file and remove the duplicate lines.

I use a subtitle editor app to eliminate doubles. it's a free app, Subtitle Edit. Takes 5 seconds to fix a subtitle file. Open Folder, select a subtitle file. Go to Tools, scroll down to Merge lines with same text. Press Ok. Save (disk icon). And you're done.

Yes, I also use Subtitle Edit to remove those lines, but it seems to be a unnecessary step to do.

The problem is not caused by StreamFab ..
.. you see this with using "Extract Original Format"

This is because AppleTV+ offers many small parts
(that's why you have multiple header "WEBVTT") and use empty vtt:

You can use autofixed srt with manually dl with N_m3u8DL-RE[code]N_m3u8DL-RE -ss name="English":for=worst "https://play-edge.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZPlayLocal.woa/hls/subscription/playlist.m3u8?cc=US&svcId=tvs.vds.4105&a=1806092492&isExternal=true&brandId=tvs.sbd.4000&id=1103457914&l=en-US&aec=UHD&webbrowser=true&xapsub=accepts-css"[/code]
but then the formating (e.g. is also missing)
