Hey, just curious if anyone’s had any experience saving the subtitles from max.com recently? I can only find old info about it being an xml file when it was HBO Max and that no longer seems to apply.
I’ve tried a couple random utilities (Subtitle-Downloader, ttml2ssa) and can’t seem to make any progress. If you can point me in the right direction I’d appreciate it!
edit: Like with most things I seem to do, as soon as I post about it I actually start digging into it more and figure it out. So anyway, here’s how I figured it out:
I used The Stream Detector extension in firefox, start the stream up on max.com with subtitles enabled, then monitor the extension until it shows a vtt file. Then I download the vtt file using the extension and can convert it to srt using ttml2ssa and use it normally.
Thank you for posting the solution you found. If you don’t mind, what OS are you using?
