Unable to login to OpenSubtitles on FileBot UI

Hi,
I have an account with www.opensubtitles.com (can login on their website).
But when I use those credentials on FileBot, it throws an error:
Code: Select all
OpenSubtitles: Client Error: https://api.opensubtitles.com/api/v1/login [400 Bad Request]
Kindly advise how I can fix this issue.

What happens if you try to log in from a different public IP?
(e.g. try your mobile hotspot instead of your ISP internet, cafe wifi, friends house wifi, etc)
What does the error message say if you enter the wrong password on purpose?
Shell: Select all
filebot -script fn:configure --def osdbUser=asdf --def osdbPwd=asdf
Did you enter your email address as user name by any chance?

I've faced the same kind of problem, take car of one important point : the username requested by the opensubtitle API is not an email adress but a simple username

Thank you Rednoah,
I was entering email instead of username.
Problem solved. Thread closed

I'll see about adding user error detection for this case to the login form with upcoming releases.
