WAN-Show subtitles not downloading

[Oskarino5]

I‘ve been having an issue downloading the subtitles for WAN Show for the last three weeks. This is the error message:

Error downloading November 22, 2025 @ 01:08 – There’s No Reason To Buy An iPhone - WAN Show November 21, 2025 from The WAN Show: Downloading captions - Failed to parse URL from

Everything else, including downloads of other subtitles, work fine.

It looks like this is due to the WAN show not having any subtitles, while for all others it's auto-generated. MIght have to do with it being a live-stream originally on the channel?

For now since there is none, my sugestion would be: if it's the WAN show, ignore subtitles? or if it can't download ignore the message?

Quick update: The December 13. WANshow subtitle actually downloaded after a few error messages.

WAN Show subtitles do download once they are available, seemingly after a few days. I assume someone at LMG has the task to go back to Livestream VODs during the week and upload the subtitles. They are not immediately available during or right after the show.

I have two potential development recommendations to get around this:

• Make subtitle download a preference on a per-channel basis.
• Add an option to suppress notifications that subtitles couldn't be downloaded (I have Discord notifications set up for downloads so getting the failure every 5 mins until the WAN Show subtitles are uploaded is a bit much).

Suppressing it arguably makes sense since it's not a gaurentee every video has them.
