Disney+ TV Series not downloading forced subtitles.

When you right click to try to copy the link, there is no option. It's like netflix disables it.

Start playing the episode and copy the URL from the search bar.

I use an extension that overwrites the right-click settings and the urls are masked or in containers so you still can't use the copy link function...

try leaving streamfab open and using your regular browser to copy the URL from your normal browser
into streamfab browser.

Any way to adapt this method to Netflix? The right click option is disabled on there.

I got it to work by copying the link for Episode 2 to the clipboard from Chrome. StreamFab asks if you want to download or cancel the link from the clipboard. You say yes and then you will be able to select English Forced.

If you select all Episodes, is SHOULD download all English Forced for the ones that have them. No need to do it 39 times (Not all 39 have Forced subs anyway)

I said it before, i'll say it again. We need an "Analyze Now" button next to every episode and every season.

I have suggested they add an "Analyze Now" button next to each episode listed in the pop-up but one thing that could be coded easily is just stopping the browser going back to the previous page after analysis. It should only go back if the page is actually a video playing but even that is not necessary cause i can press back myself. That way i don't need to use my regular browser AND StreamFab to analyze a specific episode. The term analyzing should be changed to Enumerating since that is what it really is doing for TV Show episodes besides the selected one.

If i click on a show, analyze the selected episode, enumerate the others and stay on the page. I add whatever i want from there but then i click on a specific episode, it should analyze that episode. I can keep doing that over and over.

But ultimately, it would be better to just have a little icon next to each episode in the pop-up and when you click it, it analyzes that episode and populates the drop-downs on the left.

With that, you could be very granular in getting specific bitrates and subtitles but only if you want to. You could still just use the settings for the selected episode and hope you aren't missing anything.

RE the "always download forced subs" option, it's pretty useless if all episodes are not being analyzed. All it does really is pre-select them when they are available in the episode selected.

They should probably specify that the setting is just for Movies and be done with it.

If the analysis worked correctly, you would be able to individually select episodes and see the various subs offered for those specific episodes. Not all episodes would offer Forced English, so when you hit that episode, it would not be on the list of available choices. But that is not how it works. I think it would involve a lot of code rewrite to do just that. So yes, the copy link option is probably the winner. But what if you catch series that do not have any forced subs? That's an extra step. The 'always download forced subs' option does nothing so it requires the end user to know if they should be looking for them.

[MrGrackle]

YES!!!! This works! Just proves the analyze isn't working correctly on the DVDFab side. Problem is, on other shows I want to download, I need to first find an episode with subs (if any) to start.

Yes. Analyze is either looking at episode 1 or whatever episode is paused.
So why does it look like it wants to analyze all 20 seasons of NCIS when I want a single episode? What exactly is it looking at?
On Netflix it becomes interesting because some shows have different bit rates available depending on what episode you want. If you analyze an episode with a low bitrate and download one with a higher bitrate, you might not get the maximum bitrate.
So yes, this method looks at bit rates and subtitles. However, if you analyze an episode that has forced English subs and download an episode that doesn't have them, it will simply not download those subs.
The option to 'Always download forced subtitles' does absolutely nothing, you still have to select them.

I have one suggestion for you to try. On your regular web browser, playback an episode that has English forced subs. Fast forward it about 5 minutes, then put it on pause. Wait about 30 seconds just to be sure, go to streamfab and try again. This is the workaround for Netflix, maybe it works for D+. I cannot remember the D+ interface, you might have to access the episode from the 'Continue Watching' screen.

I can try, but boy that'll be a lot of work for 39 episodes!!

[MrGrackle]

As you can see in your own screenshot of the list, there is no option to select English forced subtitles (en). If you watch the episode, you will see at approximately the 2-minute mark there should be forced subtitles in english. This issue exists in most episodes and many shows on Disney+, and is reproduceable 100% of the time.

We could not duplicate the problem. And the developer asked if you have picked the needed subtitles.

The last one shown in the log file is Daredevil/S01/Daredevil_S01E02_Cut Man, we will test this one and see the result.

Any update yet?

I have not been able to get forced subs to work on any of the modules for some time. On Netflix at least I can select them, but I have to have the episode I need the subs to be paused first.
