Youtube subtitle scraper broken due to Youtube update Jun/2025

1. The problem

Currently all subtitle scraping operations return “subtitles was empty”

2. Screenshot or task log of the problem

This is due to a change in the way youtube provides subtitles.

Investigating a fix now.

Good morning, master. How is this topic going? My operation is stopped because of this :confused: Please help me

Thank you

Still an issue, waiting for the authors of youtube sub scraper to figure a solution for people like us downstream.

Good morning friend, how are you? Did you manage to solve it for SEO content machine? :confused:

Not yet. I trying to see if there is an alternative lib for it

Ytdlp is available but only for python.

Looks like there is a new update to an npm package that might be able to get youtube subtitles

I will investigate more and see if we can get this fix into SCM.

fixed in next update
