Provide a description that is worded well enough to be understood

suggestion

As (AFAIK) it is currently not possible to distinguish between subs and autosubs in the download dir, I suggest:
a separate filename template for autosubs: -o "auto-sub:"

use cases

  • It allows the user to know what are subs and what are autosubs (when they are in the same dir).
  • Autosubs could be put in a subdir of the subtitle dir or into a different dir altogether.
  • It helps in tracking down what subs have been actually downloaded. For example TSNbCSF13Zo has Romanian sub and Romanian autosub, but despite --write-subs --write-auto-subs --all-subs --sub-langs all the download dir contains only 1 .ro file. (Bug?) With separate filename templates we could know if that is a sub or autosub file.

  • Run your yt-dlp command with -vU flag added (yt-dlp -vU <your command line>)
  • If using API, add 'verbose': True to YoutubeDL params instead
  • Copy the WHOLE output (starting with [debug] Command-line config) and insert it below
