I think there nothing wrong if the Netflix content is transported to LingQ. Of course, it has to be in a legal way. Well, the great thing about it is that it can reach a bigger audience. Since it also has an extension icon, it will be easier for you to watch your favourite shows. The great thing about it is that you might even access those that are not available or restricted in your jurisdiction. Well, this is just based on my observation. It might not apply to all streaming sites. What are the other streaming sites available?

when i try this it says "no appropriate captions found"

Is there any chance we can watch the video at the same time, and clicking in the subtitles?

Hi,

I just tried importing Chefs Table France from netflix and received what I think is the description, not the sub titles.

See below what was imported.

Thanks!"

it does not work for me (" No appropriate captions found.") . Maybe because it's Israeli Netflix? Can anyone help me?

Just wondering, LingQ sometimes rejects my imports for being too long, e.g. an hour long Youtube video. Can I import a whole episode from Netflix then? Does it split them automatically, say, into 4 parts or something?

@Preben, @yoshisbg, @ming1401 - Can I ask what interface language you have Netflix set to? We can't recreate these issues you are having and are trying to figure out what could be different. Also, please post any shows and episode numbers you are having trouble with.

Hi mark and lingQ staff,

Are you currently having problems with importing from netflix, or is it just me?

It worked fine for a while on chrome. Then it stopped working and I keep getting the error message

Error: No appropriate captions found.

I use version 1.7.16.

I installed firefox and downloaded the extension there, got the samme error.

Cheers.

@yoshisbg - It should show all options although only the Korean captions make sense to import so it definitely should show you Korean as an option. Can you try the Chrome extension to see if that works for you? We are trying to figure out why that is happening to you and that will help us narrow it down.

@yoshisbg - Do you have the latest version of the Safari extension? Make sure to have Korean selected as your captions language. It won't import any other language. Just the original language captions to match the show.

I'm sorry to say that it seems to work fine for me when importing that episode in Chrome. I assume you have tried closing Netflix, LingQ, your browser and reopening all and trying again?

@ming1401, yoshisbg - Are you using the latest version of the extension? Which browser are you in? It seems to be working fine for me. If it still doesn't work, let us know which show and which browser you are using.

Hi! Love the import tool and it really is a game changer, however I've been having trouble importing certain show eps into French Lingq, tried both chrome and netflix but it I keep getting the same error (no appropriate captions found) for the same episodes.

I'm using the extension with Safari. I wanted import Korean subtitles from a Korean drama. On Netflix the show has subtitles in German, Korean, English, French and Italian. I have Korean subtitles on, but the Lingq extension only lets me choose between English or French?

Excitement ensues

Does the plugin still work? I've tried with Safari and Chrome and it always says No appropriate captions found. If I look in the Chrome developer tools, I can see the subtitle file in the Network view and was able to download it.

When I use this, I am only getting the subtitles and not the audio. Am I doing something wrong, or does this feature only give you the subtitles?

Hi I am learning spanish and have tried to import a netflix show ( im using chrome) and come up with this error message Error:No appropriate captions found.

I have tried a few different spanish shows but none them work.

Please can you help with this?

Many thanks

The firefox link is not working for me

We have pushed an update to all Extensions to resolve outstanding issues with importing Croatian, Serbian and Traditional Chinese captions from Netflix. This should all be working properly now. Make sure you have updated to the latest version of the extension. You may have to close and/or refresh your browser to fully update the extension.

This is life changing! Is there a way to get this explosion of newly imported youtube/netflix content to show up on the audio playlist? Or do you have to be in the computer version lesson to hear it.

I tried many times using Chrome and Windows 10 but importing traditional Chinese characters Netflix which were available for the show in question never transferred, it always came as simplified.

Netflix won't work with norwegian. Is there something I can do to get it done? Whereas youtube vids with norwegian subs do import, netflix vids wont get through. I have no problem with other languages or other browser's. It is just the norwegian vids on netflix. Does it have to do with the Bokmal thing, Any solutions? thanks in advance

LingQ Importer Netflix: CAN"T get TRADITIONAL Chinese characters

Even if my netflix subtitles are set to traditional when I use the Import from the chrome extension in windows 10, I only get simplified characters (with an option to have small traditional above the simplified instead of pinyin in the settings). 

Something I'm doing wrong or Traditional is only beta so doesn't work? (Or is there a greater list of my imports that I'm missing? I looked in both "course" lists that I made, no luck. Please help!

Update: The updated Chrome extension is now also live. Make sure to update to the latest version 1.7.14.

We've just pushed updated versions to Firefox and Chrome. Safari should be working already. The new Firefox version is now live so make sure to update your extension to the newest version. The Chrome update is pending but will hopefully be available for update soon. The new versions should resolve the issue you were having.

I tried for the first time to import Chinese content from Netflix and it didn't work at all. I don't know if there is any difference because I live in Japan and I'm accessing the Japanese website.

I‘m having a problem importing an episode from Netflix. The sign ‘importing’ is circling forever. I’ve tried it with two different shows but it’s the same. What should I do? I’m using Chrome.

Am I the only one here can't import subtitles? I'd like to import Italian subtitle using Safari! It simply says 'Import Failed'. Help me out please :///

Wow....You guys are amazing!

I work at hope It can help you some day.

when i try to import netflix subtitles, i get an error on the extension, not a valid string. any reason for this?

Update: A new version was published to Firefox and Safari today which fixes various bugs with Youtube and Netflix import.

Unfortunately, the Chrome Extension continues to be hung up in Chrome's extremely painful Extension Review Process which has had us in their queue waiting for approval for almost 2 weeks now. Hopefully, once we get this approval, which seems to be a new thing, future approvals will go faster since we have made 2 additional updates since we pushed a version for approval from Chrome. Until those updates are approved, the latest fixes will not be available. Not sure why they feel they can sit on extensions for this long in this day and age!

I have downloaded the Chrome extension just now to my Windows 10 computer. The extension works with a random Youtube video.

However, I want to import episodes of Dark. This is not working. I have set the Netflix language and subtitles to German and have clicked PLAY on Netflix. I have then clicked PAUSE. Then I click on the extension, being sure to set my language to German.

I think this is what the LingQ instructional video advises.

But all I get is a spinning wheel and the message "importing". I tried Episode 3 and Episode 4. Same result. If I don't choose an episode at all, but just click on the Dark series, I do find that the import works and brings in the English description of the series.

Am I missing additional steps?

It's not working.

How do you guys deal with the terrible Netflix subtitles that are pretty much a paraphrase of what the characters are actually saying? I'd use Netflix a lot more if I could find an accurate transcript... I guess in a sense it's useful to know two ways of expressing a similar meaning, but it's confusing if you don't know exactly what they're saying in the first place.

I've been trying to import "Better Than Us" in the original Russian. There are Russian captions on Netflix but it still says 'no appropriate captions found'

I've tried a couple of others that didn't work either.

Around several months age, I imports the first episode of some korean drama from Netflix. It worked.

Today I started to import the second episode of the same korean drama but I found it didn't work. It says ""Error:No appropriate captions found."

I don't know why. Is there something changed in Linq importer or in Netflix?

Please help.

Thanks.

I'm using Chrome, trying to import "Pablo Escobar: Patron Del Mal" from Netflix and I get an error that says "Error:No appropriate captions found." Any ideas why? I can clearly see the captions/subtitles as turned on...

I can't understand when I import from Netflix I (Premium sub) just have only 5 lessons, why? How can I get all CC for move?

I'm having trouble with importing both the Brazilian series "Ninguem ta Olhando" and "3%" on updated Chrome.

Am I supposed to get audio with the subs?

Thanks for creating this great feature (it works perfectly fine on Youtube) but it doesn't work for me with Netflix. When I go on my LingQ, the only thing that has been downloaded is the summary in English and not the episode in my target language. I tried on Netflix and PrimeVideo as well. I'm on a PC and my browser is Firefox. I hope someone can help me make it work. Thank you so much. Alex

This is a brilliant tool. I notice with longer videos on Netflix, it separates the script into shorter lessons, which is extremely useful too. Although, with longer videos on Youtube, I've had the message " duration: Ensure this value is less than or equal to 5400 ". Is there a way around that (I was using Chrome), or is that a work in progress?

It was this video in particular that I wanted to use a lesson: https://youtu.be/xSrjzk0WJ6A

Is it still possible to have Text-to-Speech on subtitles that you import? Because so far it seems that's not the case.

This has been instrumental in helping understand more of Dark on Netflix, so awesome!

OMG This is such a helpful feature. Thank you!!!

Update: The Safari Extension is now able to import from Netflix as well. Get the new version here:

Note: Safari has changed the way they handle extensions and the extension now has to be downloaded as an app and then installed.

That's simply amazing!!

In the last decade, I tried all kinds of different courses and apps, but LingQ has always been the best of them by far. I can't believe now I'm going to be able to integrate it with my other main source of language materials.

Thanks you so much, I'll recommend this platform until my last breath.

To Mark and all the LingQ Staff, especially the genius that developed this capability,

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

I tested it out last night after reading this thread, watching the instructional vid, and then watching the recent YouTube video by the Master himself. This feature is truly amazing for two reasons:

1) the obvious use as a learning tool.

2) I have watched 11 telenovelas and other shows, as well as at least 21 Spanish movies and documentaries on NetFlix. Before when I didn't know a word, I was writing in down and importing in into LingQ. Not only would I have saved that effort, but now I can import all those "words" into LingQ and count them exactly toward my overall words read for stats keeping purposes. I'm at 1.8 million now, but I know it's actually much higher becuase of all the Spanish subtitles I have read over the years.

There are a few movies that are no longer on NetFlix, along with one show that I can remember. Perhaps I will post a separate thread in the future asking to see if anyone out there in LingQ Land has them.

Amazing! Thank you yet again!

I just got done importing the first episode of "Dark" and it worked wonderfully. (Win10/Chrome) Thank you!

Thank you!

I can't make this work on my MacBook Air. I've managed to get the extension but it only imports the description of the series, not the subtitles. Is this likely to change anytime soon?

tem previsão para o amazon prime video também?

Obrigado, facilitou bastante

This is absolutely fantastic! I Just tried it with a Hebrew show on Netflix (Shtisel) and it worked without issues!

Thank you!!!

Safari does import...something. I tried a French series and clicked on French (cc) transcript. But what loaded into Lingq was the transcript in ENGLISH. Is this a Safari problem, or something else? Great idea, though. Hope I can make it work.

(later)...Following up on my previous comment (can't find it below): yep; if you do it in Chrome it works fine. In Safari it just brought in the English transcript. And it was not possible to add a new course before the import, either.

It's working perfectly for me thank you very much.

Hello Mark,

I'm learning English then I tried to import a TV Series which has English[CC] subtitles and unfortunately it does not work. Could you give any clue to make it work?

Does it work on android? I tried importing dw deutschlandlabor from yt and it did not grab subtitles neither audio.

I just tried it with the Arabic show "Jinn" and it looks like the subtitles were pulled into LingQ, but no audio was pulled in. Is this happening to anyone else?

found a small bug for you. I saw a taiwanese movie that looked interesting, so I switched lingQ to traditional chinese to import it. but when I went to import it said "Error:No appropriate captions found. Available languages are: English, Traditional Chinese"

Is that because LingQ writes it was "Chinese(traditional)"?

This is great. I assume that your version of Netflix needs to have subtitles in the language of the film for it to work? Because for American netflix, many things only have English subtitles. For example, "I am not Madame Bovary" only has English subtitles.

This is an incredible feature

This is awesome! Didn't know you guys have an extension icon. Does this work also for youtube videos with subtitles? I use more youtube than netflix however.

This is extremely useful, and the timing impeccable. I think you read my mind as I was just starting to explore how I could utilize Netflix on here.
