Unable to login to Opensubtitles

Post by Blackend »

Hi,

I was trying to login to Opensubtitles but I keep getting an error, "401 Unauthorized". Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks

The OpenSubtitles API is down sometimes. Please try again a day later. Since it says 401 Unauthorized I'd also make sure to check your OpenSubtitles login details. That error messages could be wrong and misleading though.


It does seem to work for me at this point in time though:

Code: Select all

$ filebot -script fn:configure --def osdbUser=<USER> --def osdbPwd=<PASSWORD>
Testing OpenSubtitles... OK
:idea: Please read the FAQ and How to Request Help.

Hmm that could be. I also have a dumb question, which website does the login work on, the .com one or the .org one? (I have tried both but wanted to know)

FileBot uses the XML-RPC API and not the website, though presumably they all work with the same authentication backend:
