Hi, Srry for the late response
It is great to see that autosub got some international interest! 

I have had the same question a week ago, and here my reply:

"Keep in mind, AutoSub is developed voor bierdopje.com, which is a community 
sites for tv-shows and dutch subtitles. I have added the feature for English 
subtitles because they are also available on bierdopje.com, but the main goal 
always has been provided automatic dutch subtitles. 

Now, I want to add the feature of disabling langauage very bad, but as you can 
see on the issue page of our google-project site. There are so many things to 
do and I have so little time! I heard some users talking about a workaround for 
this problem. I don't know how technical you are, but if you are I might have a 
workaround for you :)

For the future, I really hope to create a application that is not bound to 
bierdopje.com and provide subtitles for more languages, but again... So many 
ideas so little time :P

So, if you are technical there might be a workaround, if not you have to wait 
till I am able to implement the language selection."

hi, thanks for your reply!
I don´t know if I am technical enough but I would love to try. So please throw 
any information at me which will lead me to the workaround!
Thanks!

Please send me the workaround, too. I tried 

del D:/Downloads/Serien/*.Netherlands.srt

in Postprocesscmd but all files will be deleted. (Subs in Dutch and English and 
the video files, too :-( )

Thank you.
Bye

Ok, I found a way.

Open editor/notepad

write:

del [Rootpath]\*.[Subnl].srt

[Rootpath] as in the config (is there a space in the path put it in "...")
[Subnl] as in config.

for e.g. 

del D:\Downloads\Serien\*.Dutch.srt

Save as .bat and put it in the Auto-Sub folder. E.g. del-dutch.bat

Put the name of your bat-file in the "Postprocesscmd". If the file is in the 
same folder as auto-sub the name is enough. If the bat-files is in a different 
location you have to put in the complete path.

This works only for Windows. I'm thinking for Linux somthing similar with "rm" 
instead of "del". But I have no idea about Mac.

Ok, deleting doesn't work and is a bad idea. Auto-Sub will always keep 
downloading the dutch subtitle. Best fix is to rename the english to the dutch 
subtitle file. Attached to this message is a work around.

Set those settings in AutoSub:
Downloadeng = Enabled
subeng = 'en'
subnl = '' <=== empty!
postprocesscmd = <path to python Disable.Dutch.py

When a english subtitle is downloaded it is renamed to the dutch subtitle. For 
example:
Dexter.S01E01.mkv needs a subtitle
AutoSub sees that Dexter.S01E01.srt and Dexter.S01E01.en.srt doesn't exsist yet.
He downloads them, the script sees Dexter.S01E01.en.srt is being download, it 
copy him to Dexter.S01E01.srt.

I hope it work for your guys, I tested it and it worked fine!

Hey guys,

thanks for your replys!
I will try your solution romke. But right now I don't know what will happen to 
all my existing subs which are there with namig series - sxxexx - title.srt. As 
I understand autosub will recognize them as dutch subs and download the english 
version which will be overwrite the already existing english sub?

Original comment by michael....@gmail.com on 8 May 2012 at 8:58

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What happens if both the English and Dutch subtitles were downloaded ?
Then the file Dexter.S01E01.en.srt can not be copied to Dexter.S01E01.srt ... 
or does Python overwrite the Dutch file ?

I will try this tonight.

@michael "As I understand autosub will recognize them as dutch subs and

english sub?"
Correct if ShowName.SXXEXX.en.srt does not exsists it will download a new 
english subtitle and copy it to the ShowName.SXXeXX.srt

@GonerNL
Python overwrites the file

Ah, you read my post before I deleted it ?? Must have been close  ;-)
I noticed that when copying/pasting your code to 'vi' the first # was dropped, 
so I got and error on line 1.
I'll test it again ....

Hi romke,

I wanted to thank for your workaround. It is working quiet fine for me although 
there are some disantvantages. If I enable Downloadeng auto-sub will download 
all my english subs again. As I don't want that I disabled it. This on the 
other hand will lead to only dutch subtitles if I add older episodes for which 
dutch subs are available. So I will download the english ones manually... For 
all new shows it works really fine beacause english subs are available befor 
the dutch ones.

So bottom line is: Thanks again but I would really love to see the language 
support in Auto-Sub... :-)

Thank you for the workaround. Could you add a line to delete *.en.srt at the 
end so we don't end up with two files ? Cheers

Original comment by tomisl...@gmail.com on 16 May 2012 at 7:26

[GoogleCodeExporter]

You can't delete the en.srt, because autosub will download it again then!
Yes, you end up with 2 english subtitles. But aint that better than 1 dutch and 
1 english? ;)

Original comment by tomisl...@gmail.com on 17 May 2012 at 6:21

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Just a note for tomisl: I ran in some problems with the setting above with the 
script. Long story. I came across trying what happens if I set both appendices 
to "english". Fallback and Download English is enabled. 
Don't know how, but now I will get only english subtitles. Both for new 
episodes (which is quiet obvious as english subs are released first) and also 
when I add some older seasons which have dutch subs already waiting on bd. 
Maybe their downloaded (as ...english.srt) but will be overwritten by real 
english one because it has the same name. I have some dutch flags in history 
but email notification will always show me "en".

I disagree that the issue i posted (115) is duplicate to this Issue. My point 
is, when I leave the name for English subtitle empty it results in 
subtitle..srt instead of subtitle.srt. If this is fixed I can use the english 
subtitles to appear on my Samsung tv.

When I use that Disable.Dutch.py workaround the script file opens in Notepad 
automatically when using Auto-Sub, and if I close it a new window just pops up. 
I had to unassociate .py opening in Notepad to fix it.

Have you tried my solution described above without the script?

Original comment by michael....@gmail.com on 2 Oct 2012 at 5:51

[GoogleCodeExporter]

@quack3d Your postprocesscommand is incorrect. 

Check: http://code.google.com/p/auto-sub/wiki/ExamplePostProcessScript for more 
info. Your problem is that Windows doesn't know it needs to run the workaround 
using python.

Install Python if you run from the AutoSub windows package, change 
postprocesscommand to something like:
"C:\Python2.7\python.exe Disable.Dutch.py"

That is a very good feature request. 
There's an On/Off switch for English, but none for the Dutch language. 

Could someone please direct us into the right direction?
I don't want to download the Dutch subs and then delete them afterwards (like 
done now). Would be nice if we could skip downloading them at all. 
It can not be very hard, but I don't know which file to edit :D

The version I'm using;  auto-sub.Beta.0.5.6.Windows.zip  

Original comment by angeloft...@gmail.com on 5 Feb 2013 at 8:53

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Heck, I'm Dutch and even I want the option to just download English subs if 
present.
I don't really care for Dutch subs, because of the same reason I dislike sync'd 
original English animation or translated-into-Dutch books for that matter.

The best option would even be to give people a choice, maybe even per show?

Original comment by johnmach...@gmail.com on 8 Mar 2013 at 4:10

Dirty fix:

1.Stop autosub

2.Edit the file "scanDisk.py" and go to line 67, this should read:
lang.append('nl')

3. Now comment out (or remove) this line, AND the 'if' line above.

4. Remove the file 'database.db' from your autosub directory (so scandisk 
refreshes everything when you start autosub again, not really sure if this was 
needed but I did it anyway)

5. Start autosub

Edit:

Failed to mention you should also change the IF-statement on line #48:

In that line a check is made for nl subtitles or english subtitles existing.
You should change this line to:
if (not os.path.exists(os.path.join(dirname, srtfileeng)) and 
autosub.DOWNLOADENG):

Else episodes with matching english subtitles will remain in the wanted queue.

I made a very small change in the Disable.Dutch.py script. Basically, I just 
added an option for when the dutch subtitles have a different suffix (in my 
case it's dt). You can change it in the 2nd line of the script to whatever you 
want. Other than that - the script works wonderfully. This is exactly what I 
was looking for. A bit of a convoluted way to get English only subtitles, but 
there's nothing easier & better out there...
Thank you!

Can't seem to get the disable.dutch.py to work in Windows 8.

Tried in Post-process CMD:
"c:\Program Files\Python\python.exe Disable.Dutch.py"
"c:\Program Files\Python\python.exe -Disable.Dutch.py"
"c:\Program Files\Python\Disable.Dutch.py"

Everytime I get the following error:
ERROR  downloadSubs: PostProcess: The filename, directory name, or volume label 
syntax is incorrect.

Anyone got a solution?

I think your mistake is that you didn't provice a path for the .py file (where 
is it on your hard drive?). In my AutoSub Config, the line is:

"c:\python27\python.exe g:\Disable.Dutch.py" (without the quotation marks).

Thanks it worked. Had to put the files in C:\Python though, the space in 
"C:\Program Files\..." was also messing up the cmd.
