One benefit of using a VPN was that Netflix provided shows with far more subtitle options in regions outside the USA. I never understood why if the subtitles existed for a particular language that they wouldn't be present in the USA version of Netflix. For example, now that you can't use a VPN with Netflix I haven't been able to access German subtitles from the USA. Is there a way around this?

In order for the VPN to be sufficient, you need to set the correct VPN, for example, I use VeePN and it completely suits me

Earlier quoted context omitted.

The audio + screenshot + text sent to Anki for review script sounds awesome as well as the current subtitle analysis. Can you share these?

Indeed, you get high quality in context cards, something that is still missing from most Anki decks. The code is here https://github.com/pigoz/mpv-nihongo , keep in mind that a lot of stuff is hardcoded, poorly documented, and it requires an mpv patch to work. If there's enough interest, I can try and make it simple for someone that's not me to use.

Awesome. I'd be interested in adopting it to use for French!
