Hello, i would like to create an android and ios app with .net android or .net maui (maui seems better choice if possible) and im trying to find a way to extract the available subtitles from a video and then download one of them.

I dont know how to do that so im trying to find a nuget package that can help me do that. can this https://github.com/Bluegrams/YoutubeDLSharp do the job? if not why? what i have to check in Dependencies next time to be sure that i can use it for this job?

thanks

    as it just runs the command line tool youtube-dl (written in python), it will only work on an o/s that supports that tool. so with Maui you could support windows and MacOs. No android or IOS support.
