Filebot Find No Subtitles (but Manual Search works)

[viking]

I tried to run this command to find and download "any" subtitles:

Code: Select all

filebot.cmd -script dev:osdb.explain "P:\Ultimate_Server\Television\The Vampire Diaries\Season 7\The.Vampire.Diaries.S07E12.720p.HDTV.X264-DIMENSION[rarbg].mkv" -non-strict --def fetch=y --log all --log-file P:\Ultimate_Server\temp_log.txt

Nothing was downloaded and the log file showed:

Code: Select all

File: P:\Ultimate_Server\Television\The Vampire Diaries\Season 7\The.Vampire.Diaries.S07E12.720p.HDTV.X264-DIMENSION[rarbg].mkv
Hash Lookup (hash: 0dab9458a9a279d8, size: 855096774, lang: eng)
Best Hash Match: null
Name Lookup (file: The.Vampire.Diaries.S07E12.720p.HDTV.X264-DIMENSION[rarbg], strict: false, lang: eng)
Best Name Match: null
Done ヾ(＠⌒ー⌒＠)ノ

However, when I did a manual search on OS, I found a good subtitle here:
http://www.opensubtitles.org/en/search/ ... vie-421257

Any clue why not even osdb.explain (with -non-strict) found anything?

OpenSubtitles API Search is not the same as OpenSubtitles Website Search, so there might be small differences. The API likely uses more heavy caching, so new subtitles won't show up until a few hours or days later.

It'd be interesting what happens if you try the exact same thing one week later.

The episode was downloaded on 2/11/16. I tried again today (2/17/16) and the results were the same;
Nothing was found using Filebot: UI or dev:osdb.explain (and -non-strict).

The only way is to do a manual search on OS (subtitles were uploaded 2/12/16).

Note that subtitles are otherwise always available using Filebot < 24 hrs after release.

I won't be able to check into this issue this week. I'll have a look next week when I'm back.

Hash Lookup not working is perfectly normal if nobody has linked the subtitles to that particular video file yet.

Name Lookup may not work if there are more than 500 results. FileBot will request all subtitles for "The Vampire Diaries" but OpenSubtitles API will just return 500 of them. This is pretty bad, but can't be solved unless OpenSubtitles API increases the limit.

@see https://forum.opensubtitles.org/viewtop ... 11&t=14597

I guess it was increased to 2,000 in 2014 and then set back to 500 sometime later.
In the last post, oss asked for an example. Maybe you could give "The.Vampire.Diaries.S07E12"?

r3557 will now try to tailor queries specifically to your files, and search by episode or by season, instead of all seasons.

Please test.

I just downloaded filebot.jar and tried it. I assume that this is the latest: filebot-4.6.1-r3558-ivypp.jar?
If so, r3558 works fine now. At least with The.Vampire.Diaries.S07E12.720p.HDTV.X264-DIMENSION[rarbg].mkv

Time will tell if there are other issues.

THANKS!

p.s. Is there a changelog somewhere?

Yes, there's the commit log:
