Regular films #10

Closed 097115 closed 10 years ago

While it seems to work quite stable for the TV series, it somehow fails if trying to download subs for the regular feature films:

097115 on Talisker @ ~/Downloads> subs The\ Door\ In\ The\ Floor.mkv 
>> No subtitles found for this video:
The Door In The Floor.mkv

even though the subtitles in question, of course, do exist (subs is my alias for the script).

Hi, As stated in the software description, this script try to match your video file with a "known" video file, to get an synchronized subtitles. This process is only possible if one person has previously provided a correspondace between the same file you are using and a subtitles. You can do that by manually uploading an hash or watch a movie with a video player that automatically upload hashes.

In your case, the video file you are using is probably unknown, so no result with OpenSubtitlesDownload... If you have a suggestion to make this clearer please let me know. In the mean time I will update the message with "No synchronized subtitles found for this video".
