    SubtitleDownloader is a C# API library for downloading subtitles from various multi-language subtitle sites.
    It was originally developed to be used with MediaPortal plugins but it can be also used in any .NET project.

    Note: SubtitleDownloader is not a plugin for Mediaportal, My TVSeries or Moving Pictures. It is a standalone library which can be easily re-used in C# applications such as Mediaportal plugins and MP2. This way subtitle sites, searching & downloading logic can be centralized to one library and not directly to one specific plugin.

    Cool. I know this might be difficult. But why not adding subscene.com? Most subtitles are released here. Unfortunately you can't use hash"codes" only name. Series might be hard to filter also. But i think that would be great.
    Tvsubtitles is great for series(MPTVseries currently uses it)
    maybe Moviesubtitles.org - Download latest DivX/Xvid movies subtitles is worth considering as well?

    But really great work i must say. Remember to talk to the devs :)

    OMG! Yay!. This sound awsome. Thank you for doing the work on this. Hopefully this will lead to much better and more robust auto subtitle download feature .

    Yes, of course. SubtitleDownloader is an independent library which can be used in any C# program to find subtitles for TV series, movies etc.

    As I said in the first post, "The idea is that this library could be used by both My TVSeries and Moving Pictures in the near future."

    Which site does your plugin get subtitles from!?

    Because i have allready tried: vroksub - Project Hosting on Google Code

    And it's getting from Opensibtitles.org, and that site isn't one of the best :/ Ex. Subscene is way much better, and holds many more subtitles for movies.. Ex, if i use Opensubtitles.org i can aprox get 5/10 subtitles downloaded (In combination between english and my native language), but if i use Subscene.com, i can aprox get 9/10 downloaded :)

    As I said in first post:

    It currently has support for four sites: OpenSubtitles, Sublight, SubtitleSource and TVSubtitles and multiple languages.

    So 4 sites at the moment. v0.4 will also have experimental support for Subscene.
    Five sources should be enough.

    I've created a testing package where SubtitleDownloader is configurable in My TVSeries config, Extras -> Subtitles

    EDIT: See first post
