The thumbnail image is a screenshot from a Youtube video, for a song. the lyrics in gold color are Youtube closed captions, they look cool and stylish right? This is common in videos of 4K scaled anime openings. Can I get these offline? I know I can download videos using yt-dlp, and include subtitles in the container using the --embed-subs flag, I think you can also download subtitle files in vtt extension, but VLC can’t read them I think.

I didn’t include a link cuz it might become a hustle for dbzer0, but since some are asking here you go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXzoiiZo5LA

there were better ones (Kaguya-sama openings) but I can’t find them anymore on Youtube, stupid copyrights, thus my obsession of hoarding what I like

    Maybe check other players if they can display them correctly? Not sure if mpv can butt that’s what I’d try first.

      tried MPV since I’m on ubuntu, yeah it displayed the subtitles when I imported them (after downloading as vtt files). certainly better than VLC, but the effects and colors and exact position are not there. I think the position might be easy to adjust, but the other things no idea.
