Downloading subtitles takes long time #179

New version of VLSub (0.10.0) quickly finds the file but downloading takes loooong time, VLC offers the dialog to kill it. Looks like finding files uses TLS 1.1 but downloading is still 1.0? Btw, both 1.0 and 1.1 are not secure enough. I warmly suggest using 1.2.

Thank you.

I agree. It finds subs immediately but always get stuck on 'downloading subtitle' with the progress bar full.

I don't even think the maintainer maintains this package anymore.

The delay might be caused by what it does after the subtitles are downloaded, like unzip, rename and move the sub file

ghost commented 7 years ago

Yeah probably.

ghost commented 7 years ago

But what if the delay is before it downloads the sub? Or before it even searches for subs?

Usually waiting for a minute would solve this but it's obnoxious.

ThatLurker commented 7 years ago

That might be caused by opensubtiltes servers

Might also be caused by vlc doing other things in the background like buffering and such

the problem is that VLC can't handle the zip file containing the subtitles. In my case there was a case of perl packages mismatch versions. I install latest perl and this error disappeared. I also changed HTTP1.1 to HTTP1.0 just in case..

Any confirmation on this working for anyone else?
