Get segments from WEBVTT Playlist

[EmilFrom]

Hello everyone

I'm figuring out how to download subtitles from the danish streaming site dr.dk/tv.
They use webvtt subtitles with m3u8 files. The whole link looks like this:

https://drod04o-vh.akamaihd.net/i/dk/clear/streaming/13/5a3b9e496187a411e4bbdb13/Famil...leType=Foreign

They put the subtitles at the end in these playlist links:
https://www.dr.dk/mu/subtitles/playlist/urn:dr:mu:manifest:5a3b9e496187a411e4bbdb13%3F...leType=Foreign

I have figured out that the windows application M3u8x can turn this playlist link into segment links:https://www.dr.dk/mu/subtitles/segment/urn:dr:mu:manifest:5a27ec0e6187a41034fc26a1?seg...leType=Foreign


But I really don't want to rely on a windows gui application, since I'm primarily a Mac user and I hate using gui applications for something I can do in the terminal, so I'm trying to figure out how to do this in the terminal with something like FFMPEG.

How can I get the individual segments files from a playlist link like that??

Not sure of your question.
But on this website:
https://www.dr.dk/tv
I chose this 8 minute video:
https://www.dr.dk/tv/se/anton-90/anton-90-2/anton-90-10-10#!/
I downloaded the vtt subtitles with youtube-dl:

youtube-dl --all-subs --skip-download https://www.dr.dk/tv/se/anton-90/anton-90-2/anton-90-10-10#!/

The vtt subtitles can easily be converted to srt with Subtitle Edit

Huh. Well that's incredible. I didn't know youtube-dl accepted url links like that. I thought you had to give it the m3u8 address.
Thank you very much. That's really great.
