Background
I have some TV episodes that I downloaded with included subtitle .srt files. I renamed the video files using this naming scheme from the stickied thread:

Code: Select all

B:/Plex Media/TV Shows/{n}/Season {s.pad(2)}/{n} - {s00e00} - {t}{'.'+lang}

I got the lang media file not found error so I went to the FAQ, and pointed it at a .srt I had downloaded for a different show from OpenSubtitles through Filebot. However, if I then pointed it at the srt I wanted to use for the new show, I now get a lang undefined error. I don't totally understand what the bindings mean, but I am guessing that this means that the srt file I have doesn't have any language metadata associated with it, so when I try to rename it using the above scheme it just names it the same thing as the video file. This is a problem because I have the srts in multiple languages and because I also want to try and abide by Plex's naming conventions.


I wanted to use these existing srts in the first place because I could not find them on OpenSubtitles. So then I decided to try and upload them to OpenSubtitles, and then I could redownload them and then maybe the language metadata would be populated and I could rename them properly. I dragged the video files and srts onto the up arrow in subtitles, then selected Game of Thrones as the show in the left column, but they still don't appear when I try to download again. How can I fix the missing lang info in these files?

1.
FileBot cannot guess the subtitle language, unless the the subtile filename already has the language tag and I guess it has to be dot-notation (e.g. *.eng.srt).

2.
Uploading subtitles to OpenSubtitles doesn't mean they're immediately available. It might take a day or two before the new subtitles show up due to caching on various levels.

Ah ok - I inserted the right language tag into the filename of the subtitles (.eng) and Filebot was able to rename accordingly. Thanks!

The next release will match _eng.srt patterns as well.
