Subtitles Searcher

This is a command line script that automatically searches for video subtitles using OpenSubtitles.org APIs.

One advantage is that it can automatically search for all videos inside a directory, making it easy to download subtitle for TV shows season packs.

This script is in its early stages, but is usable as it is.

Requirements

Python 2.5+

Usage

Just pass the name of the video file or a directory, in which case it will search for all video files in that directory.

python ss.py [directory or movie file]

Currently it is searching for subtitles in English only; until this is fixed, you can easily change the language by editting the "language" variable at the start of the Main() function.

TODO

• Better search Currently it calculates the movie hash and uses only that to find a suitable subtitle, which sometimes makes it miss subtitles;

  • Order subtitles by Downloaded# to find one that fits better;
  • If querying by hashing fails, try to find one with the closest name;

• Proper command line options:

  • --language
  • --recursive

• Better error handling;
