Remove external tool dependency #2

Open agzam opened 2 years ago

There's gotta be a way to retrieve subs without using youtube-dl.

As you have written in this reddit comment, I would prefer the ability to retrieven auto-generated subtitles using your tool. If this requires getting rid of youtube-dl dependency, it shall be so.

By the way, I do think that https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp (a fork) is the preferred tool to use instead of youtube-dl.

Excellent. It looks like yt-dlp does nicely extract auto-generated subs. I'm gonna rewrite the package to use it, instead of youtube-dl. Thank you!

@novoid Moved to yt-dlp. I still would like to explore the idea of removing external dependency altogether. But now it properly works with both normal and auto-generated subs.
