Things I never expected to learn: how to rip subtitles off of YouTube and add them to PeerTube videos, which were sourced from somewhere else.
@deadsuperhero I didn't even know those had their own files. That's pretty cool. If only there were a big enough instance of PeerTube to hold all my videos. From now on, I'm staying up there, and my tiny subscriber base is just gonna have to move.
@cambridgeport90 So, part of my experiments with hunting down permissive-licensed films and documentaries is that some resources are spread around unevenly. A high-quality video may exist in one place, but a low-quality video with metadata and subtitle files may exist in another.
PeerTube is capable of ripping the video and text description from YouTube and Vimeo. I use SaveSubs to strip the .srt files out of a YouTube video that has subtitles, and then update the PeerTube video to contain them
