    Supported skins are listed in first post.

    For X-Facotr, you should ask cul8er (author of the skin), to add support for SubCentral :)

    Also, let me take this opportunity to warn all the users about new point in FAQ. If you get errors installing SubCentral from MPEI, look there.

    a nice future feature would be for the list of retrieved subs to be marked as "has downloaded before" for those subtitles that have been downloaded before.
    This is useful when continually looking for subtitles that match the video.
    Maybe even have the old resultset accessible ?

    Also, it would make sense to filter away subtitles that do not match the FPS of a movie.

    eg. if a movie is 23.976 fps it makes no sense to use a subtitle for the same movie in 25 fps

    No idea if this filter is even possible. Getting the FPS of the media file is ofcourse easy.

    Hi gibman,

    first request might be possible if provider has an unique identifier for sub. Will look into it.

    As for the second one I doubt I'm gonna invest much time in doing it because of few things:
    * if first request is implemented, it will be easier to exclude already downloaded (checked - not working) subs,
    * not all providers support FPS and data might be inaccurate,
    * as only some sub formats use frames for showing subtitles, this would perhaps hide some useful subtitles
    * .sub is not that popular anymore (might be wrong :)).

    BTW, do you still have problems with subtitles field in MovingPictures sometimes not set?

    Hello

    Thanks for a great plugin! I've been using it for a while and it works well except for one issue: When it has searched for subs and I select one it should download it automatically, but for some reason the download folder is not writable and the subs don't get downloaded. If I just close the popup where you can select the download folder (I don't select the folder, I just close the popup) and try again it works. This happens everytime on the first time after starting MP.

    I'm using SubCentral with latest StreamedMP, one annoying issue is that after a successful download of subtitles, you have to press "back" like two or three times to get back to the list of episodes. There's no reason why the screen should remain with the list of subtitles to download, it makes more sense to bring the user back to the list of shows/movies.

    +1 for this


    I also liked the way SubtitleDownloader worked in TVseries. When I select an episode a popup asked me if I wanted to play the episode or download subtitles. This would be nice to have back.

    Re: SubCentral v0.9.1 - download & manage subtitles (Moving Pictures/MP-TVSeries/othe

    Hi!
    I have just wrote a subtitle downloader implementation and I am having one problem with the implementation of SubCentral TvSeries part. I don't know if this is a problem (limitation) of SubCentral or TvSeries.
    Here is the scenario:
    I have some anime with the absolute numeration and the site where I retrieve the subtitle has also that numeration.

    TvSeries automaticaly retrieve the season-episode number that is the equivalent of the absolute number.
    The problem is that when I search for subtitles with SubCentral, the subtitle query use Season and episode number retieved by TvSeries. So lets make an example:
    My file is: Naruto Shippuuden - 185.mkv (Absolute Episode=185)
    the subtitle is: Naruto Shippuuden - 185.srt (Absolute Episode=185)
    - when importing the file in TvSeries, TvSeries associate the absolute number with: Season=9 Episode=10 so SubCentral search for Season=9 Episode=10, but the subtitle Downloader can't find the subtitle, because on the site the Episode nuber is 185.

    It this a limitation of the SubCentral implementation or a limitation of TvSeries?

    It's not limitation of any kind. MP-TVSeries uses season / episode notation and that's what SubCentral gets and uses. Then number 185 is impossible to get anywhere but the file name. SubCentral doesn't and will not do filename parsing.

    Maybe I'm wrong and there is absolute number (185) available in TVSeries (is it?), then I have to look on how to implement it :)

    Strange, never happened to me. Will look at the logs.

    Already implemented in SVN.

    I also liked the way SubtitleDownloader worked in TVseries. When I select an episode a popup asked me if I wanted to play the episode or download subtitles. This would be nice to have back.

    You can have this by enabling both SubCentral and SubtitleDownloader in MP-TVSeries configuration, but then SubCentral wouldn't be used when downloading before playing (old dialog will be used). I will look into adding this possibility to TVSeries for SubCentral too, soon.

    The absolute number is available in TvSeries (in the table online_episodes -> absolute_number). :D for looking into this!
