While base support for TG4 now works (it downloads the video), subtitles are not downloaded anymore (few months ago it downloaded subtitles). Could you please look at this and extend youtube-dl to support this? I am not sure if the site changed or the application.

Sample link to use is this: http://www.tg4.ie/en/player/home/?pid=5416347428001&teideal=Garfield&series=Garfield&dlft=NaN

If you open this on website, subtitle works, but its not downloaded when running from youtube-dl.

Tested with 2017.6.x and 2017.7.x

[Moilleadoir]

No longer works.
