Hi,

There are several versions of French subtitles. One version is for "Sourds et Malentendants" (deaf and hearing-impaired).

With the "fr" option, the system retrieves only the subtitles for the "Sourds et Malentendants".

For example :
The Durrells ： une famille anglaise à Corfou - Saison 1 (1⧸6) [110868-001-A].fr.vtt
00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:41.680 line:91% align:center
<c.red.bg_black>Bruits de bouche</c> (Mouth fruit)

In this thread, ElCap gives a solution with a corrected arte.py file that unfortunately doesn't seem to work anymore :

I don't have the same behaviour:

Language Formats
fr vtt, vtt, vtt
de vtt
en vtt

Does fr-acc is for "Sourds et malentendants" ?

What's your version ?

I dunno if it's relevant anymore but I've updated the arte.py file created by ElCap. It seems to be working with the latest yt-dlp. Kudos to ElCap for providing a template.

Thank you very much !

Both versions work fine :
https://files.videohelp.com/u/274438/arte.py (fr_acc)
https://forum.videohelp.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=76987&d=1707770595 (fr_sdh)

Would it be possible to update the official release with a fixed version for everybody ?

You make a pull request and hope someone accepts it and adds it to the next release. I doubt anyone cares since it would have been fixed by now. https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/pulls

I'm not legitimate to send the pull-request because I'm not the author of the fix.
