Please keep subtile selection available after download.

Post by Andre-K »

When user searches for subtitles, he's offered a droplist with options.
the one selected, and downloaded may prove to be bad/out of sync.
- please let the application still show the droplist after download, so user may just click and try another one.

I currently don't work on the Subtitles feature, and what you're asking for would take quite a bit of tinkering in the UI which I'd rather not touch anymore.

The osdb.explain script allows you to download all available subtitles for a given file:

Code: Select all

filebot -script fn:osdb.explain /path/to/file -non-strict --def fetch=y

The spillover effect you describe in your PM is intentional. It's bad for Movies. It's good for TV Shows. If you put each movie into it's own folder, then it won't happen.

What's the parent folder path where you put all your movies? It might work better if it's something simple (and ignored by default) such as "Media" or "Downloads".

ok, the workaround #1 could work, but if you download a subtitle, it does not sync, you may prefer to tra a specific like webrip, or dvdrip - trying that may give you two or three before match.
"get all" will generate a mess of maybe 20 subtitles that is hard to navigate in a player, not to mention to clean up, and keep the correct one.

Well, the reason you get a bad match is because there probably is no good match. If you check all the options, then maybe there's another one that happens to be in sync, but maybe not. If you find a good one, make sure to drop the video/subtitle pair on the Upload button Image to help out the next guy. ;)

If more people were to upload subtitles (especially with hash) this would be much less of a problem:
