Trying to figure out how to extract (only) the subs from a Netflix stream. I now it's possible because I've seen plenty of them posted online but can't, for the life of me, seem to find the subtitle file when the stream is playing.
Link to stream example: http://www.netflix.com/WiPlayer?movieid=80044545
Any pointers, please? :)

I suppose you wanted the english subs, right? Save it on PC and then use then "Subtitle Edit" (google for it) to import this file as a normal SRT.

Hi Denn1s, can you please explain the steps to follow to get those subs? Do I need to have a subscription?
Here's a link: http://www.netflix.com/watch/70218602?trackId=200256157&tctx=0%2C9%2C01569f08-29ef-481c-b9e9-175c1178c36f-136495097
I'd only need the subs.
Thanks!

Sorry for late answer, i rarely come here :(
yes, you need a valid subscription... my first language is not english, so it's a little complicated for me to explain the steps but if you use Chrome, you just need to use his developer tools and to look for all the packets that are transmitted... one of them will be the subtitles that you need. Then you just need to import them in another tool like Subtitle Edit to convert them in SRT.
The link that you provided, in Netflix Italy, is for an episode of How I Met Your Mother and the only subs that i could extract, would be the italian ones... (i should use a VPN to get an american IP to connect to Netflix USA to see also the english ones but i am little lazy to do it...)

Hi Denn1s, thanks for reply.
I even tried with a valid account and BitAnalizer and Fiddler too, to find the packet with the subs, but looks like they're encrypted or something.
I could switch between Italian and English subs in that episode, but couldn't extract either of them.
Would you mind to explain what I have to do with chrome step by step? Thanks!

Hi,
I'm also looking for a way to extract the subtitles.
I've used chrome developer tools and I can see the subtitles as png files, but I think that I need also the XML file or a similar file which has the timing for those subs.
Any suggestions?

I found this ' https://github.com/isaacbernat/netflix-to-srt '.
I tried to find the stream url for subs, but, no luck. Can't even see anything else here

Hi SlowNet,
I found this page earlier, but it seems that Netflix have changed the format of the subtitle index file from dfxp to something else.
What we need is to know what is the new subtitle indexing file on which the timing of the subtitles is stored and that's it, as we can see the subtitles very easily using developers tools.
I hope someone can step up and enlighten us.

Guys, netflix subtitles are NOT encrypted and they are NOT in png.
My english is not very good anyway, there is a reason why i said to use Chrome and not other browsers. There, i know for sure that it will work using HTML5 which is the way to make appear the subtitles as i explained above. Other systems rely not on HTML5, and you can not extract the subs.
Operation is EASY. Just try again with Chrome and his developer tools and look ALL the packets. You will see a lot of packets which are encrypted (they are the segmented videos) but if you look fine you will see also the subs.

Easy, no?
Then you must to save the page, and you must to import it in the tool "Subtile Edit". That's all!

You are right buddy! this method works for many subtitles but for some it is not available in one file but as separate .PNG files and you need to play the whole movie to have them all the .PNG.
I have no idea how to convert .png to srt and there is no play time either :S so I'm not sure if it will work :S
Thank you!

You can also download the subtitles in .dfxp format by using Bluestacks with the Netflix Android App and sniff the traffic with e.g. URL Snooper 2.

I have followed the procedure explained by Denn1s and it works. Unfortunately, I also need the timecodes. How can I keep this info in the xml file?

Import the file you downloaded to Subtitle Edit and you will be able to save it to .srt, which is the most popular subtitle format. All timecodes should be preserved. As a matter of fact, the file you've downloaded in the first place already has all its timecodes in it but the format it came in isn't friendly to most subtitle readers available out there - that's why you'd want to convert it to another format such as .srt.
Thanks a lot. I have tried to open it with Subtitle Workshop and I couldn't see them and then with Notepad ++ and there they were. I'll try with that one and will let you know.

Before all, as usual sorry for my bad english.
Blue dragon, obviously before you must to select the language subtitle that you want... anyway probably there is a faster way to get the subs... now i use Firefox and Adblockplus. Try this... Start the movie with your wanted subtitle then click the adblock plus firefox addon as in the image
http://i.imgbox.com/gwcAmkKR.jpg
then write in the search box /? as in the image (this is the italian version, but you should see something similar)
http://i.imgbox.com/UQfkm9Jc.jpg
It should appear the link of the subtitle that you are looking for. Now you can save it and you can import it in Subtitle Edit as i explained in the other post. Let me know if it works :)

Eh, to be honest, I don't know.. in that case i suppose you can only do some OCR :( Subtitle Edit could be good also in this case, good luck with it :)

If you want the png subtitles file, you can do the following: Use the android Netflix app on any Android emulator and sniff the network traffic. The Korean subtitles should have an .isc ending. It basically is a .zip file, which contains a series of .png files, two .idx files and a .xml file.
Here an example from a Japanese subtitle, but Korean should be the same: http://so1.akam.nflximg.com/soa7/956/811690956.isc?v=1&e=1445650627&t=U83piwrKlqJfqWNMiveD3GNNXiA

Arabic subtiles appear as PNG files also
We can exract it easily by sniffing the traffic with /range/35- as filter
I am using adblock plus and open blockaple items(CTRL+SHIFT +V)

The link will be like this

Delete the number after the word range and write nine number before and after the dash like that
/range/35-10590
to

Not sure if this is my error or if they changed things, but the URLs I am seeing are different. They look like this:

With the beginning of the URL different, and &random= being added. Many of these show up with the two range numbers being different every time. How do I know which ones are the subtitles? I've managed to download from one of these URLs but it wouldn't let me open it as an archive, even after renaming it to .zip.
