Support auto-downloading of subtitles #97

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

The website http://www.opensubtitles.org is a great resource for subtitles 
and has an open interface so subs could be automatically downloaded. This 
should definitely be implemented at some point. Should check first if subs 
are already available locally though.

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

Handling of subtitle language should be there as well.
For example I'd like subtitles to be downloaded in multiple languages, en, 
es, de.
subtitles should be saved as (this is the standard):
Batman cd1.en.srt
Batman cd1.es.srt
Batman cd1.de.srt

i have done some private scripting for opensubtitles  before so i can probably 
use 
that experience for implementation into moving pictures.. just tagging this one 
for 
now.

We should also consider http://www.subtitles-on.net as a subtitle data source.

Also check http://code.google.com/p/vroksub/

I was astonished at the detection rate of Moving Picture, especially with the 
.nfo
scanning this gives great results.

Combining the fact that the movie db is accurate tx to Moving picture, vroksub
automatic downlaoding , combined with different subtitle sites, would be a crazy
enhancement !

tx to think of it :)

Hi guys

I use the subtitle feature on TV Series plugin all the time, and it is great!
Including this feature in Moving Pictures would be perfect!

Thanks guys!

When checking for local subs, if possible, it should also check inside 
containers.

I also use http://www.podnapisi.net for most of my movie subs

Hi,

I've started working on a SubtitleDownloader API library and it currently has 
OpenSubtitles implementation (based on vroksub).

I've been testing it with My TV Series and it is working quite well, I'm hoping 
to 
release it soon.

This is really great news - I hope it will be implemented into both Moving 
Pictures and 
TV Series.
Please contact the devs and ask them to test with it.

I've been really looking for this feature, I really hope you add it. TVSeries 
plugin
already has this feature and it works great there, maybe you can just take the 
same
function that they use...

Looking forward to seeing this thing implemented...

Devs, have a look at this post from Seco:

http://forum.team-mediaportal.com/524394-post12.html

Is it possible to implement this in Moving Pictures once the 0.8 version is 
out? Thanks!

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

Yes in general I think use of Seco's library makes a lot of since. As for 
timing I am 
not sure. Because the scope of this enhancement will be reduced on our end if 
we use 
this library, we might pull this forward. Once we release 0.8 our team will 
have to 
have a meeting to decide what the next version will consist of.

I just started testing seco's subtitle downloader for mp-tvseries. It works 
really
great. If you have a library that's already ready and an easy API you can use, 
I urge
you to reconsider only supporting it in ver. 1.1... Please see if you can 
include it
in earlier versions... thanks!

Retagged the version number for this issue. This is not a rescheduling, we 
are just changing our version number scale.

Added labels: Milestone-2.0.0

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

I've attached a patch file that does this.

The grunt work is done in subtitlesretriever.dll and in seco's
subtitlesdownloader.dll files.

The subtitlesretriever assembly is quite generic so it can be used in tvseries 
plugin
as well.

TODO; a progress indication that shows which provider is being queried.
ex. "querying provider 2 of 5 : subscene"

maybe the settings config. part could be done different ?

I've uploaded the subtitlesretriever sources to:

https://mediaportal.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/mp-plugins/trunk/plugins/subtitl
esretriever

Will this patch make a lower milestone possible?

Original comment by zinu.to...@gmail.com on 4 Jan 2010 at 3:36

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

You can use http://thesubdb.com too. We have a simple API, still without 
documentation, 
but we have a client written in python and the code is really simple. I can 
help you 
with the implementation. It is like opensubtitles, with some improvements and a 
few 
differences.
