Problems downloading subtitles

[artisticforge .]

hello

I have been looking at past logs trying to figure that out.
i am not deaf just like to use subtitles so my program viewing is private.

It would appear that when the BBC killed XML files, subtitles were also killed.

example from 25 april 2017

I did find a file type "opensubtitled" which seems to be used for
Foreign Language programs subtitled in English by default.
