subtitles - srt-conversion & fetch from api #18

Open dularion opened 9 years ago

Also subtitles for chromecast. Plus the option to specify subtitle offset!

fisle commented 9 years ago

Perhaps the server could try to fetch subtitles automatically when a new video is uploaded. Configurable option on what languages to grab?

dularion commented 9 years ago

Thats a good idea. Will look into an api for that

z3ntu commented 9 years ago

tvsubtitles.net?

dularion commented 9 years ago

I was thinking more of something like this http://subsmax.com/subtitles-api/ but I'll have to look into different ones and see which one works best

z3ntu commented 9 years ago

Jeah this site look good too! EDIT: seems like tvsubtitles.net doesnt have an api :/

Check out OpenSubtitles API: Javascript

"Hash code is based on ​Media Player Classic. In natural language it calculates: size + 64bit chksum of the first and last 64k (even if they overlap because the file is smaller than 128k). On opensubtitles.org is movie file size limited to 9000000000 > $moviebytesize > 131072 bytes, if is there any reason to change these sizes, let us know. Licence of ​hashing source codes is ​GPL. Source codes was tested on Little Endian - DEC, Intel and compatible

Important: there might be cases, when your calculated hash is not 16 characters, so make sure you add zero-leading padding - some of source codes doesn't implement this ('101eae5380a4769' => '0101eae5380a4769')."

Should be more precise than using movie name. When and if you add this subtittle option, please take a look at having some buttons you can delay the subtittles of your liking to 200-250ms back or forward (Just in case there are some issues with the sub sync).

yep, makes sense. Thanks!

mrjovanovic commented 9 years ago

Thanks for the great work! One point - the interface should allow the use of different codepages, otherwise it'll be pretty useless for most non-English subtitles.

For the same reason, hopefully there will be an interface to 'assign' subtitles to each film/episode aside from autofetching. This way, users could curate their library properly, having subs for each thing.

dularion commented 9 years ago

You can actually upload subtitles already! They have to be in vtt format. ( there are online converters for srt to vtt). For autofetching I agree with you, gotta keep that in mind.

dularion commented 8 years ago

Ok, in the next release, auto srt to vtt conversion is in place! If you want to try it already today, you can switch to branch "next" at your own risk :) It will be added to the rc soon though :)
