How can I embed subtitle For yt-dlp supported links?

[erickyun]

İs it something like?
/yl URL opt: EmbedSubtitle:true
Or
/yl opt: writesubtitles:true|allsubtitles:true |merge_output_format:"ass"

How can I do this?

Check the yt-dlp option it's in /y. U will see hyperlink there. U can check all options and there is an examples. Yes the format is right of ur example but idk if those settings are correct or not

Hmmm I can do it for u but i don't have enough time. Why u don't join yt-dlp support chat on discord.

I got such answer if it would be useful to you?

Here's some useful code that translates b/w CLI and API options

import yt_dlp

def cli_to_api(*opts):
    default = yt_dlp.parse_options([]).ydl_opts
    diff = {k: v for k, v in yt_dlp.parse_options(opts).ydl_opts.items() if default[k] != v}
    if 'postprocessors' in diff:
        diff['postprocessors'] = [pp for pp in diff['postprocessors'] if pp not in default['postprocessors']]
    return diff
    
from pprint import pprint

pprint(cli_to_api('-4', '--downloader', 'http,m3u8:aria2c', '--embed-thumb'))  # Change according to your need

So, to answer your question,

>>> cli_to_api('--embed-sub')
{'writesubtitles': True, 'postprocessors': [{'key': 'FFmpegEmbedSubtitle', 'already_have_subtitle': False}]}

Update ur code and add this opt:

opt: writesubtitles:True|postprocessors: [{'key': 'FFmpegEmbedSubtitle', 'already_have_subtitle': False}]

and pleased don't post teo same comments in different issues.
