How to download the subtitles from Paramount Plus? [Solved]

[essam315]

How could I download the subtitles from Paramount Plus as in this movie for example?

https://www.paramountplus.com/movies/a-quiet-place-part-ii/BcTZQV_RJe6L3UVVY9PTN4rHb6_wKquY/

Edit: I found a method for downloading the subtitles from Paramount Plus by using yt-dlp for downloading the subtitles.

yt-dlp --write-subs --skip-download "https://www.paramountplus.com/movies/a-quiet-place-part-ii/BcTZQV_RJe6L3UVVY9PTN4rHb6_wKquY/"

Just use

yt-dlp --write-subs --skip-download "https://www.paramountplus.com/movies/a-quiet-place-part-ii/BcTZQV_RJe6L3UVVY9PTN4rHb6_wKquY/"

SubtitleEdit does not recognize the subtitle format, why? Apparently the subtitle is downloaded in an unknown format.

Edit: I am using the latest version of yt-dlp.

Just use

yt-dlp --write-subs --skip-download "https://www.paramountplus.com/movies/a-quiet-place-part-ii/BcTZQV_RJe6L3UVVY9PTN4rHb6_wKquY/"

It doesn't work, the message I showed you earlier appears.

It works for me with this version, run Download.bat, ignore any error message.

It works for me with this version, run Download.bat, ignore any error message.

It works in the US, outside the US it doesn't work, it doesn't download the JSON.

This method will work outside the US:
Press F12 and press on Network search for _cenc_dash/stream.mpd then play the video and you will get a link like this one

https://vod-gcs-cedexis.cbsaavideo.com/intl_vms/2021/06/24/1913517635745/713198_cenc_dash/stream.mpd

replace _cenc_dash/stream.mpd with _fp_hls/master.m3u8 and you will get this new link

https://vod-gcs-cedexis.cbsaavideo.com/intl_vms/2021/06/24/1913517635745/713198_fp_hls/master.m3u8

use this command with yt-dlp.exe

yt-dlp --write-subs --skip-download -N 20 "https://vod-gcs-cedexis.cbsaavideo.com/intl_vms/2021/06/24/1913517635745/713198_fp_hls/master.m3u8" --output "a-quiet-place-part-ii"

To get the links with m3u8 without the need for the replacing, in case the replacing did not work, install this extension on google Chrome

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/user-agent-switcher-and-m/bhchdcejhohfmigjafbampogmaanbfkg

then choose in it Safari, Mac OS and Safari 14.1 then press on "Apply (all windows), and open Paramount Plus in a new page, then press on F12 and in Network search for m3u8 then play the video, it will not start but you will get the link in m3u8.

after you finish getting the links, press on "Reset".

With the last method you posted I have been able to successfully download the subtitles, thank you very much.

[WhoMadeWho666]

Sorry to bother but I got a problem, I read the post about downloading Paramount subtitles but I couldn't get them work, no "_cenc_dash/stream.mpd" found, but I found "master.m3u8", it contains just this:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/n2rylxb3s6ldn05/master.rar?dl=0
so could you help me, what I should do.
