[OpenSubtitles] Exact VS Fuzzy Subtitle Search

[Pitbull_Raven]

Hi rednoah. I have set filebot to watch a specific folder and search for subs at intervals. For most cases it worked fine, but from time to time it won't find a sub via exact or fuzzy search. Thing is if I search for it manually on opensubs, I can find it, and if I try to search by hash using something like VLC (View menu - Subtitles), it's also picked up. Any reason Filebot wouldn't find it although other programs would?

It's impossible for VLC to find subtitles if FileBot doesn't, assuming both use OpenSubtitles hash lookup at the same time.

You can always use the osdb.explain script to get more information (and post the logs):

Code: Select all

filebot -script fn:osdb.explain /path/to/files

@see search.php?keywords=osdb.explain

set filebot to watch a specific folder

Sounds like you're doing something completely unsupported. I recommend running the suball script in intervalls.

As always, very helpful. I'll try this as soon as I get to the computer. Much thanks.

Didn't seem to work, even with latest beta. Then I uninstalled and reinstalled all from scratch including context menu extras found in another thread, remade the schedule and now it's working.
