This script only downloads full subtitles but does not download forced subtitles.
How could I go about downloading the forced subtitles with this script?

One more thing, when I check the downloaded subtitles, I see that there is a space in the second line for example:

Hello, it's nice to see you
(space)I hope you are well

Hope they fix this in future updates as there should be no spaces before the second line.

The problem of the extra space at the beginning of the second lines is from Amazon itself not from the script, this problem exists in the raw subtitles in some of the languages and in some of the TV series and movies, it could be fixed by replacing in the script

if(text != '') {

with

if(text != '') {
  text = text.replace(/^ /gm, '');

This is the raw subtitle for episode 9 from season 1 for "The man in the high castle" in Latin American Spanish (es-419), when opening it with Subtitle Edit the extra space in the second lines exist too.

Any example of forced subs not being downloaded? The script doesn't filter them out, it downloads everything Amazon offers. If forced subs are embedded in the video then there's nothing I can do about that. This script downloads subs in text format only.

Spaces should be trimmed in 1.7.6.

Amazon stores links to forced subs in a different place than the normal ones. Now my script grabs all of them. ;)
