Amazon 6.2.0.7 Amazon forced subtitles do not work

[oldManInFL]

Tried to download Land of Women s01e01 at 1280x640, English forced narrative subtitle remux into file and there was no subtitle.

[Critical]: "[DownloadControlAmazon]" transformXmlToSrtSubtitle failed, retry

I can't test - so try with "Extract to srt"

Before restarting streamfad, I tried all options and none worked. Amazon is offering a free 7 day trial to AppleTV if you want

do you have in settings - VIP services - "always download the forced subtitle" box checked ??

[oldManInFL]

I know, but as far as I know I can only subscribe to channels with a
US payment method and I also don't currently have a Prime account in the US.
I only pay for amazon.de - that's my home country
and there is no AppleTV channel outside the US.

If I write "I can't test" there is a reason for it.

I can only offer url for subs from appletv when I'm at home in 7 hours
(I can dl your Amazon manifest.mpd - but at Amazon they do not contain any sub URL)

Or you try it without SF - info here

I posted the info about the free trial for Apple TV for those reading the post that may be interested.

I can't use the Apple TV app because of the error message about 6 devices, that's why I am using the Apple TV trial from amazon.

It appears that this has been a known bug since the end of October. Any idea when it may be fixed.

I know (i answered there) - "offer url for subs" has nothing todo with SF
and this can use everyone with a m3u8 dl tool - also without access to appletv

You can dl untouched vtt with yt-dlp ..
.. but I don't know how to select forced (or no AD) subs:

So I prefer N_m3u8DL-RE with cmdline:

N_m3u8DL-RE --sub-format vtt -ss name="English \(forced\)":for=worst "%url%"

change %url% with url for ep1-6:

Only the developer or someone with contact to him can know this.


> It appears that this has been a known bug since the end of October.

It is possible that the dev does not know anything about this
The dev don't search for problems in forum ..
.. so you need to inform the support here (or use feedback in SF)

No Issue for me.



I have also installed ViolentMonkey and the amazon subtitle downloader userscript and it works too
