Doesnt download subtitles in shared folders in windows

[bradbury9]

Fist of all, great job doing a magnificent plugin :-)

OS: windows 10, tried long time ago in win7, same problem. VLC: 2.2.4 Description: The default VLCSub that comes shipped in VLC 2.2.4 has a bug which does not download the subtitles in the folder the video resides if that folder is a shared folder. Tried several videos, no one allowed the donload. The Sub is shown but is not stored in the shared video folder, only in AppData folder.

Steps to reproduce: 1- Open VLC 2- Open video 3- Go to 'Download subtitles' 4- Search by name 5- Click on Download selection 6- Following message is shown: Success: Subtitles loaded Error: Unable to save subtitles

Hi and thank you very much :)

Did you try with the file from this repo instead?

[bradbury9]

Im new to LUA, and I dont find in github.com/exebetche/vlsub the .luac file. Which tool can I use to compile the .lua into a .luac I can test in my environment?

Just found out I could put .lua instead .luac file :-) Same behavior with the file from this repo

[exebetche]

To compile .lua to .luac you can use vlc with this command if I believe this file: vlc -I luaintf --lua-intf --lua-config 'luac={input="vlsub.lua",output="vlsub.luac"}'

But you don't have to, you can just put vlsub.lua as is in ProgramFiles\VideoLAN\VLC\lua\extensions\, then after restarting vlc you should see "Vlsub" at the bottom of the menu "View".

Same behaviour, I did leave the lua file in the extensions folder

Hi,

I've seen the same on my end but I noticed this only happens when loading the video using a file:// URI. Did you try mapping your shared folder to a drive letter?

[bradbury9]

Indeed, the problem no longer happens if not using shared folders path sintax and is workarounded mapping the shared folder. Long time ago developed a VLC based control and found out similar missbehaviour with the URL formating in VLC's activex when working with playlists. Made it working, but I dont recall how I did it

BTW: Same workaround works for "Search by hash" / "Search never finishes" problem 1.

Yes the solution in this case is to mount a share folder as a virtual drive. The extension need a drive letter (ex: Z:\folder) to work.
