Subcleaner is a python3 script for removing ads from .srt subtitle files. The script is more sophisticated than a simple search and delete per line and uses different regex profiles for different languages. Once the script have identified ad-blocks they get removed and the remaining blocks get re-indexed.
Can clean entire libraries in recursive mode and works well with Bazarr directly installed or as a container from the linuxserver/bazarr image.
Cloning and running with python3 should work.
cd /opt
git clone https://github.com/KBlixt/subcleaner.git
cd subcleaner
Install the default config simply by running the script once or copy the default config into the script root directory.
python3 ./subcleaner.py -h
With the subcleaner.conf file installed you can modify the settings within it. the config file contains instructions what each of the settings does.
Unlock the scripts full potential by running it after downloading a subtitle from Bazarr. Enable custom post-processing and use the command:
python3 /opt/subcleaner/subcleaner.py "{{subtitles}}" -s (note the quotation)
It should work right out the gate provided the paths and permissions are set up correctly.
in the bazarr log it should confirm that the script ran successfully or give you an error message that tells you what's wrong. if nothing is output then you've probably set the script path wrong.
If you run Bazarr in a docker container, as you should, make sure the Bazarr container have access to the script directory. Either mount /opt/subcleaner directly into the container as a volume or install the script inside the Bazarr config directory.
I have verified that this works on the linuxserver/bazarr image.
The script have a few language profiles included by default:
If you want to run the script against any other language you'll have to either create a profile for it or disable the requirement in the subcleaner.conf file. It's recommended to create a language profile. read the README in the regex_profiles directory for more info and guidance.
I'll review it and add it to the included default profiles. And it'll help out others that use that language in the future! :)
Please, If you find any issues or have any questions feel free to open an issue or discussion.
Automatic subtitle deletion if language don't match label.
better ui for confirming/reverting deletion of ads.
ASS support?
