Description
Expected behavior of the wanted feature
For the youtube-dl option "convert-subtitles=srt/ass/ect" to work. And load up converted subs.
Alternative behavior of the wanted feature
You get the base subtitles you requested "sub-format=ttml" instead of converted format your requested. the subtitle formats, (ttml/srv1/srv2/srv3) from youtube all don't display in mpv, and from looking at this issue history, these won't get support unless its by ffmpeg. (Although ffmpeg is successful at converting ttml to srt, it doesn't demux them yet)

Research direction
Start by reviewing the linked log and locating how the youtube-dl options convert-subtitles and sub-format are handled in mpv. Compare the current subtitle path with ffmpeg conversion support; done means a requested converted format is loaded by mpv instead of the original TTML, SRV1, SRV2, or SRV3 subtitles.
