This is a slightly updated version of a tutorial by Robert Chelmers.
I recommend going through that tutorial and if it doesn't work this may address some issues.
I am using the film "El Hoyo" in this tutorial.
Make sure that when you click on the Tampermonkey chrome extension it is shown as "activated" as opposed to "disactivated". Then click on "Dashboard" and make sure "Netflix - subtitle downloader" is toggled to activated as well.
Navigate to Netflix and select the film or show episode you want to get the subtitles for.
- At the top of the page a "Netflix subtitle downloader" button appears.
- Hover over that.
- For "subtitles format" I picked "prefer DFXP/XML" as there is no .srt option available.
The DFXP/XML file will end in ".dfxp".
Then
If you open the .srt file, you may notice <i> and </i> tags. To get rid of them follow the following instructions although it is probably not super important that you do so depending on your use case.
- In a command line or the "Terminal" application on MacOS use/paste the following commands (where "El.hoyo.WEBRip.Netflix.es-ES[cc].srt" is the .srt file name for the movie El Hoyo in this case but for you it will most likely be different)
- sed -i -e 's/<i>//g' El.hoyo.WEBRip.Netflix.es-ES[cc].srt
- sed -i -e 's/<\/i>//g' El.hoyo.WEBRip.Netflix.es-ES[cc].srt
Then follow the original instructions of removing the timestamps
and getting the word frequency
if you wish. Knowing the word frequency can be helpful for vocabulary practice in an app like Anki.
