srt-validation

srt-validation aims to be a small and simple command-line utility that scans subtitles in SRT format and checks for various errors. This is accomplished by reading a file and checking for the following:

1. Number of characters per line;
2. Number of lines for each subtitle;
3. Checking for overlapping subtitles;
4. Checking for mismatched tags;
5. Checking for missing empty lines after a subtitle.

How to install

srt-validation is still a work-in-progress. This section will be updated once the code is in a usable form.

Usage

After completion, srt-validate will support the following command-line options:

1. -h
   Prints an usage message and exits;
2. -p
   Performance mode. Each subtitle is checked only against the subtitle that immediately follows it.
3. -a
   Accurate mode. Each subtitle is checked against all the subtitles that follow it.
4. -l number of lines per subtitle
   Sets the maximum numbers of lines per subtitle. There are more lines per subtitle than this number, an error message is printed to the console.
5. -c number of characters per line
   Sets the maximum number of characters per line. If a line length exceeds this threshold, an error message is printed to the console.

Note that at the time of this writing not all command-line options are supported.
