I am trying to download a playlist of videos, all of them with auto-generated subtitles but when I insert the flag --write-sub/--write-auto-sub it says that de videos do not have subtitles. I usually use the same code to download videos with subtitles, which is simple and usually does the job. However with the auto-generated subtitles does not work:

youtube-dl -f best --yes-playlist --output '%(title)s.%(ext)s' --write-auto-sub

I also tried to add --sub-lang en with no results.

Thank you,

This is a known issue with youtube-dl for a month or so. As of now (Dec 26, 2020), a fix is already merged to master https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/pull/27388 and most probably will be available in the next version ( > 2020.12.22)
