Looking up subtitles: 401 Unauthorized

[Clint]

When I'm doing a filebot run over a bigger number of files (100-500) I eventually get this error:

Code: Select all

Looking up subtitles by filehash via OpenSubtitles
Lookup by hash failed: 401 Unauthorized
Looking up subtitles by name via OpenSubtitles
Search by name failed: 401 Unauthorized

I have done this before and sometimes I get no errors and sometimes like the above.
I there a max amount of request within a certain timerframe when pulling from OpenSubtitles?

Pretty sure they auto-block you for a bit if they notice you're abusing the service.

Make sure you're logged in with your OpenSubtitles account. Buying a VIP account can't hurt neither.

Yup, I figured so. Would be nice to know the limit so I script it to stay within. Haven't tried while beeing logged in, possibly in white list then. Good idea, thanks.

This might help:

Code: Select all

filebot -script fn:osdb.stats

But if you download lots of subtitles you definitely need to be logged in.

Perfect, just what I needed!
Thanks!!
