Hello,

I am admin/coder of http://www.opensubtitles.org site. We recently released SubDownloader program - it is opensource program coded in python, so I thought it should be easy to port it to XBMC.

Program downloads and uploads subtitles to opensubtitles.org using special hash via XMLRPC, everything is commented on project homepage - http://subdownloader.sourceforge.net/wik.../Main_Page - I post some info to forum too: http://forum.opensubtitles.org/viewtopic.php?t=145

Is there someone who will look on that ?

Thanks.

That's really awesome. I havent' tried your webpage, so I don't know if you've got a big library of subs compared to others. However, this would be a great script, and as you say, probably easy to implement. Hope someone will take this on.

This would be cool. I hope someone could do this.

just look on my webpage, it has the most subtitles on the net. http://www.opensubtitles.org
but it is not about that, it has most subtitles, but about that, when user will download some subtitle it will work! API is described on SubDownloader project webpage...

Someone should code this as python script, and later, when users will be satisfied with this service, it should be added to XBMC core....

I use XBMC and I will be so happy to see this support there...

2ge,
if you port it I'm sure it will be widely used... port it and post it here for testers.

I think upload should be done later. Main feature is download and for it you dont need IMDB lib. Just look at project homepage http://subdownloader.sourceforge.net/wik.../Main_Page - download sources, and find/rewrite right parts and thats all.

Sorry, I am not python programmer (I wish be one), don't have maintain website and this script. I'm just looking for someone, who will port it to XBMC, coz it should be cool feature for everyone who watch movies with subtitles...

You can install that library on your pc (make sure that you are using the same python version as the one on the xbox). after installing it, the .c file is compiled into a library (.pyd) that can also be used on the xbox.

I'm just writing here to let everybody know that I'm gonna get my hands on this beautiful project.
I've been using XBMC since 2 years know and there is no other MC that can even get close to it. As a not mother tonge english talking person (I'm spanish) I spend lots of time searching for subtitles for all the TV series and movies that I like to see in english...
I discovered opensubtitles.org a few days ago and liked a lot. After seeing many other subtitle webs I think this one is the best and will be the only, I'm sure.
When I found out that they have done a program to automate download and upload of subtitles, and that it is programmed in python I just knew...

That has to be ported to XBMC...

So here I am. I'm taking the responsability of porting SubDownloader to XBMC.
I have contacted the author of SubDownloader and he's very glad with the Idea. Even he is also spanish so comunication will much more fluid that this crappy post (sorry about my english).

I'm gonna start working in it as soon as I can. But I want to ask of you some patience now. My grandmother is very ill and I will have to travel soon. After that, the holydays season comes and I will go home for christmas were I will be disconnected from everything.

So please, give me some space know. I will start with it asap. I will be posting here and in subdownloader page as we go...

See you pals...

I saw this on the 'OPENSUBTITLES' website and thought it would be good to incorporate this within XBMC.

The program is 'Open Source' and works with Windows and Linux.

Unfortunately I do not have the necessary skills in order to implement this but had hoped someone who had could incorporate this?

Thanks in advance

BTW If you do not know the 'Opensubtitles' website, it provides subtitles/captions in various languages for Xvid movies usually for non-native speakers and people with audio disabilities.

=====================================================


Hello all,

we are really proud to present you first opensource program coded in python, which is working with opensubtitles.org site for downloading/uploading subtitles. We think, this should be first step, how to change system of downloading and uploading subtitles at all. This program works with open to public XMLRPC service of this website and should work on most operating systems - now tested on windows/linux.

We release this program for you - for users. We hope, you will like it and will upload subtitles using this program - so others could download these subtitles through this program. If uploaded subtitles already exists on server - upload it anyway - we collect information about movie to which it belongs (hash, fps, filesize, time), so you will help anyway. Main features are:

- no spyware, no adware, source code is available at project homepage
- it uses fast hashing algorithm (27 GB movies/7 seconds)
- search and download subtitles for 1 movie
- search and download subtitles for movies directory
- upload subtitles to site (possible as registered/unregistered)
- autodetecting imdb, if in directory exists nfo file
- for release name is used name of directory
- using OSDB and ISDB protocol
- autodetecting user language / set prefered languages
- many more.

Thanks a lot, I use XBMC everyday to watch movies, and we really need this, is it is possible to extract hash from RARed files, that should be superb! If you have some question about XMLRPC API - just let me know, I will help you. I just coded two new methods:

2.7 DownloadSubtitles
2.8 GetSubLanguages

Thank you very much for undertaking this project and assisting people who like me need to use subtitles
