OpenSubtitles.org is undergoing a transformation, retiring the original API by the end of 2023

Exciting news! OpenSubtitles.org is undergoing a transformation, retiring the original API by the end of 2023. Fear not, as this paves the way for the advanced OpenSubtitles.com REST API. We also understand, in some scenarios there is no way to use new API yet, so original API will be available from New Year only for VIP Users.

so this will stop working in 7 weeks

new api: https://www.opensubtitles.com/docs/api/html/index.htm

one nice thing about the move from .org to .com is that .com has all subtitles in utf8 encoding it will be interesting, how many subs will be broken, because guessing the encoding is not trivial, see #37
