Any reason you run Whisper on it when you can pull subtitles via yt-dlp?

  Not all videos have subtitles. I do initially run yt-dlp with the extract subtitles parameter, then I check whether those subtitles were downloaded, then if not, I run whisper.

    Have you found Whisper to be better than Google's automated subtitles? Might integrate it into my backup scripts myself.

      Much better, actually. Try the large-v3 model, it's great. I use it via whisper-ctranslate2 which is a faster implementation. https://github.com/Softcatala/whisper-ctranslate2 https://github.com/Softcatala/whisper-ctranslate2
