Doesn't work unless there are subtitles (WARNING: video doesn't have subtitles), which seems to be different from captions.

I think subtitles and captions are the same foe YouTube-DL. However, some videos only have auto-generated captions, and YouTube-DL doesn't download these... by default. There is an option to force the download of both generated and even translated captions.
