Enhancement Request - Auto Subtitle #786

Open KillerJoeBR opened 7 years ago

KillerJoeBR commented 7 years ago

Hi there,

It's probably not a high priority feature, but maybe it's easy enough to do it (no idea, just guessing) Quasar could auto download and exibit the movie/episode subtitle in the user language (probably need a setting to choose the preferable language and second preferable language). I don't know how different the approach would be from other addons that already do this.

It usually works quite well for most movies and episodes after a month or so after release. So it's great for newbies to just select a not very recent movie and then when it starts playing it already has the subtitle working. I think it adds value to the addon (imho)

Thanks

I tried autosubs a long time ago and it was kind annoying back then. Don't know if it has improved now, but it would search any movie including native language ones, so i would get subtitles for brazilian movies for example. Maybe it's better now...

scakemyer/quasar#28 implements something similar but not quite.. this would be a great feature for torrents that don't include subtitles in the desired language, and would be a good automatic fallback solution
