For those of you in Sweden: This was mentioned in a documentary that is available on svtplay right now.

Episode 1 has the Öland fortress.

It's a shame but they don't have english subs and since it's swedish public broadcasting it's most likely geo blocked.

Tack ska du ha.

brew install youtube-dl

Works fine for me, I just have to learn Swedish...

brew install learn-swedish

fungerar bra för mig

Yes, they have a bug at SVT. When the web page says a video is geoblocked, one can still download it via youtube-dl...

This also works fine with the SVT app on Apple TV in the UK.

The Swedish subtitles help to glean some insight, also downloadable with YouTube-dl

For me, chrome offered to translate the page and, after I accepted, it translated the Swedish subtitles on the fly.

No way! I did not expect it to do that. Do they use some sort of open subtitle format that chrome can understand and manipulate?

More likely they are displaying the subtitles with plain HTML elements and Chrome can translate their content as they are revealed.

It's not geo blocked. (Usually programs that are produced by SVT are available globally.)

Swedish productions are not usually blocked, unless I guess the rights are being sold to other countries.

Tack. Works here in Tyskland.
