Able to download External Subtitles

[David-Moreira]

This is a continuation of the proposal on jellyfin/jellyfin-web#5618

"Hello,
I'd like to work on this feature
https://features.jellyfin.org/posts/1181/subtitles-download

I believe just adding a download button by each external subtitle should be enough"

@thornbill :

"Remote subtitles would be dealing with downloading subtitles from providers. Not downloading existing local subtitles. It would be best to open a meta discussion for this."

@David-Moreira :

"I'm sorry I do not understand your point. From the moment they are visible in the available subtitles screen I posted they are local and have been downloaded by jellyfin from a provider is that not the case? It's only a matter of downloading the local external. Subtitle."

I'd like to reiterate that from my point of view:

• The subtitles from the providers are already locally available, and it should be just a matter of triggering a download as opposed to having to do more complex handling, but maybe I am missing something, please let me know.

Certainly agree with you, and share the same thought. We can already download the files to our local devices, and not having the subtitles in our local device is a big issue especially if the movie is in a foreign language, and there is no option to download the subtitles when you are actually watching the movie, like in a long flight. The whole point of downloading the mp4 file becomes useless if the subtitles are not there.

There's a feature request for this too.
