FAQ
How can I extract subtitles from a YouTube video?
To extract subtitles, input the YouTube video URL. The skill will first try to use the `yt-dlp` tool to download subtitles. If this fails, it will fall back to browser automation to retrieve the transcript.
What happens if the `yt-dlp` tool is not installed?
If `yt-dlp` is not found, the skill will attempt to use browser automation. If that fails too, you will be notified and asked to either install `yt-dlp` or configure the browser automation tool.
What browsers are supported for subtitle extraction?
The browser automation feature currently supports Chrome. If Chrome is unavailable, users can specify other browsers like Firefox, Safari, or Edge for the `yt-dlp` tool.
Is there a limit on the number of subtitles that can be extracted?
There are no specific limits on the number of subtitles. The process depends on the availability of subtitles in the video and the tools used for extraction.
What should I do if the 'yt-dlp' tool fails to download subtitles?
If the `yt-dlp` tool fails, you should try specifying a different browser (e.g., Firefox, Safari, Edge) and retry the extraction process.
