9 years ago So this behavior I think is expected. For the first scenario, it looks like its behaving as it should. When subliminal attempts to download subtitle files its scans the file for existing subs of the appropriate language and determines if the subs need to be downloaded at all. In this case, no subs are downloaded.
The second scenario is a little confusing, I'm guessing the source file you're giving it came shipped with some files that simply weren't in the naming convention required by the script and it instead downloaded its own files, which are correctly imported. (Subtitle files have no metadata to analyze for a language so the naming convention is important).
The third scenario is the only one that doesn't seem quite right. I'm not sure if that subtitle file was downloaded by the script or provided by you, but either way it looks corrupt and something didn't work. Not sure if you just got a bad sub download or what. Technically based on what I'm seeing it shouldn't have tried to download subtitles at all. Sometimes, for whatever reason, subliminal seems to download when it shouldn't. This may be related to some subtitles being flagged as being for hearing impaired vs just regular subs, though I'm not certain of this.
Hope this explains everything.
I was watching the conversion of some of my files recently and noticed a strange trend. I also has some other files error out for an unknown reason.
When a video has an embedded subtitle stream the script still attempts to download subtitles. Not sure if it uses the downloaded file or keeps the original. When a video has multiple subtitle streams in different languages it keeps all subtitles and only deletes the one that got embedded. Add option to delete all extra subtitle streams after embedding or all subs in language not specified. This last one is very strange. It has embedded subs and external subs. Yet the script still attempts to download subs. It also makes to sub streams, but something causes it to fail when reading the external or possibly the downloaded subs.
