Can't convert #13

Closed emerald-teal closed 4 years ago

emerald-teal commented 4 years ago

I was making subtitles today and I went to YTSubConverter to convert my .ass to .ytt. However, this error popped up and I'm unable to convert this certain file. This has never happened before and all of my past files seem to work still; it's just this one file that I can't convert. What can I do to fix this? I've tried restarting my computer, and making a copy of the file and deleting the old one.

Please check whether the error still happens with the latest version of the converter (1.4.1). If it does, please share your .ass file so I can look into what's happening.

Downloading the new version worked!! Thank you! I'm so happy

For few days it worked fine, but it started popping up again with the same file. I honestly don't know what's going on. By the way, I'm still working on the subtitles so they are not completely done. I use: Aegisub 3.2.2 YTSubConverter 1.4.1 Windows 8.1 hated.txt

New issue. A different error came up when I tried to convert an .sbv from YouTube to .ass. Like the other error, this happens only for a certain file. Is something wrong with my computer????

arcusmaximus commented 4 years ago

For hated.txt, I noticed you have a few \t tags where the ending time lies before the starting time (e.g. \t(480,100,\c&H000000&\4c&HFFFFFF&)). Try correcting or removing these.

For the .sbv conversion error, please attach that file too.

emerald-teal commented 4 years ago

Fixing the transitions worked! Thank you. I'm not sure on how to convert an .sbv file into a text file though.

arcusmaximus commented 4 years ago

Just rename it to .txt and attach it.

arcusmaximus commented 4 years ago

Could you attach the .sbv file that's failing to convert? Without the file, I can't see what the problem is.

emerald-teal commented 4 years ago

Sorry for the late reply, here is the .sbv file. heart.txt

arcusmaximus commented 4 years ago

The error is caused by the empty line at 1:17. YTSubConverter thinks the "I just want to" is the start of a new subtitle and tries to read it as a time range, which of course fails.

For now, please remove the empty line between "(Blimp says TAB)" and "I just want to" (you can add it back after conversion). The next release of the converter will have this bug fixed.
