I run this command:

videogrep --input videofile.mkv -vtt --search 'this' --search-type word

And get this:

Traceback (most recent call last):

    videogrep.main()

Run the command but without the singular quote ' on the search term.

It is the same error when I remove the singular quotes from search term.

videogrep --input videofile.mkv -vtt --search this --search-type word

From my end it works every time with that same command so would you mind uploading the input file and subtitle?

I downloaded this YouTube video (mkv format) and am using this subtitle file.

By the way the command runs when I remove --search-type word (but I want to cut only the words from the video after all). It is only for word, pos and some other type that I can't recall now. Those three search types give the same error message.

Those aren't automatically generated subtitles. If you're using youtube-dl, I had the same issue. Currently, if a video has manual English subtitles written for it, --write-auto-sub in youtube-dl will just download the manual ones instead of the auto ones. So you'll have to wait for a fix from youtube-dl, find another way to download auto .vtt, or just pick a video with no manual subtitles.
