Subtitles and downloads

Unified media-data paths for movies and TV episodes.

Subtitle paths

The same routes are available under /api/subtitles. A successful response is a JSON array of tracks; a missing result returns 404 with an error object.

[
  {
    "label": "English",
    "file": "https://example.invalid/subtitles/en.vtt",
    "type": "vtt",
    "source": "v1"
  }
]

file is the track URL, type is normally vtt or srt, and source identifies the subtitle backend. Prefer the tracks included in the playback meta event when you are already opening a playback stream; use these paths when subtitles are fetched separately.

Download paths

The /api/downloads prefix is also supported. A successful response is an array; an empty array simply means no candidates were found.

[
  {
    "url": "https://example.invalid/file.mp4",
    "quality": "1080p",
    "size": "2.14 GB",
    "format": "MP4"
  }
]

Download URLs are provider results, not durable Vyla-hosted files. Display quality and size as informational fields, and handle expired or unavailable links in your client.

Request and response rules

• IDs are TMDB IDs; TV paths additionally require season and episode numbers.
• Both families return JSON, unlike the SSE playback paths.
• Handle 404 for missing subtitles and 500 for an upstream or resolver failure.
• Do not block first playback on either call. Fetch them in parallel or after the player has started.
