It looks pretty efficient, I thought this information could be useful to you guys in order to simplify the search mechanism of the add.
Anyways, I hope it helps. Thanks again for this amazing addon!
Getting search results from this aggregated subtitle search engine works nice.
The trouble is to download the subtitle.
It only links to a page on the subtitle site where the download link can be found.
This page still needs to be parsed, to get the url (deep link) to the subtitles. The parsing is site-specific.
It is a bit the same as using multiple google searches to find subtitles.
For instance to find House MD S05E15 on undertexter.se, you could simply build this google search string:
"house md s06e15 site:undertexter.se"
Also, we already have the most important subtitles sites that tinysubs uses.
If we rely our script solely on this subtitles search engine, then we are very vulnerable.
I think it is still best to directly use a subtitle site.
(And it doesn't include bierdopje.com. Which is by far the best Dutch subtitles site for tv series :confused2
