Guardian coming to Viki

[naye]

The popular streaming site Viki has licensed Guardian, and is now listing it as coming soon on their site. It's unclear what this will mean for the availability of Guardian on YouTube.

All excellent questions! I have no idea, but anyone who wants the original cut might want to download it from YouTube now just in case.

so what's on youtube now is the original cuts?

Also, I've DL'd them but I think they're saved to the YouTube app on that device and so would be gone from my device if they were taken down? I guess I need to figure out how to export them...

Yes, YouTube has the version that originally aired on Youku. The edited version has been censored for violence and villain redemption, apparently?

Good luck saving the files! I used third party software to download them to my harddrive with the subs in a separate file.

Yeah, I'll look into that! Thanks for this heads-up!

Also, I'm glad to know I watched the original cut. :)

How do you download the subs? I can get the videos off youtube, but my 3rd-party downloader doesn't catch the subtitles.

4K Video Downloader lets you choose which sub tracks (if any) you want to download, and saves them as separate files.

Cool, thank you!

I've been using this for individual subtitle files:

JDownloader will grab subtitles from youtube.
