SubtitleDownloader (2 Viewers)

[seco]

Thanks for your help.

I've tried removing those files but same result. SousTitresEu.dll isn't recognized as soon as i update it.
So I tried manually adding external downloaders one by one (and unchecked their installation by SubCentral), none of them are recognized.
If the latest SousTitresEu.dll was packed in SubCentral, Would it work ?

Where can i find SubtitleDownloader 3.0.3 ? It was working well with old SousTitresEu.dll and 7z.

Thank you

I am very confused since everything is working fine here with the following setup:

- MediaPortal v1.2.3.0 (from MediaPortal.log)
- SubCentral (1.1.2.256) (from SubCentral.log)
- SubtitleDownloader 3.0.5 (right-click SubtitleDownloader.dll in MP Installation folder, select Properties -> Details, see Product version (ignore File description saying 3.0.4)
- Latest SousTitresEu.dll from Google Code Repository located in MP Installation folder\SubtitleDownloaders

If your setup is identical, only thing I can come up with is that your SubCentral configuration is somehow messed up, in this case try removing SubCentral.xml in MP data directory (default is C:/ProgramData/Team Mediaportal/Mediaportal) & re-configure

Hi,

I have implemented a new subtitledownloader for the spanish site subtitulos.es. Mainly it has spanish TV shows subs.

Instalation instructions: just extract the SubtitulosEs.dll to [RootDirectory]\SubtitleDownloaders where [RootDirectory] is the directory where SubtitleDownloader.dll is located in (see first post of this topic).

I have tested it with some series and works great, but if there is any problem, please post it.

Enjoy it!

Thanks, I'll add this to next version of SubCentral if this is OK for you.

Hi seco,

It's perfect.
Thanks.

Any chance of a new method in the interface to retrieve the contents of the subtitlefile?
That way, I can completely eliminate the use of files for that matter (and probably making it a bit more thread-safe).

I'm not sure how this would fit the concept since it's all about downloading files (mostly ZIP/RAR archives containing the actual subtitles file(s)). Are you still struggling with Online Videos support perhaps?

Well, it's more a general feeling that it would be more efficient if the "disk" factor is ruled out.
When I call SearchSubtitles I suppose nothing is saved to disk.
Only when I call SaveSubtitle I guess the zip is downloaded (saved to disk?) and extracted to disk.
I then read the whole contents of the file in a string which I pass on to the player, and delete the file.
If I can get the contents of the file directly from the subtitledownloader, nothing has to be saved on disk, and it seems a bit faster

Doing everything in memory just for performance doesn't sound very elegant solution and I doubt the user would see any difference. I still wonder why the contents of a subtitle must be a single string in Online Videos, IMO that sounds a poor design and pointer to a file would be a much better solution. In general reading a file into a single string doesn't sound good to me.

Don't get me wrong here, I would really like to help if I understand what the actual problem is

If I pass the file content to the player, I can immediately remove the file (and thus no need for garbage collection).
When I pass the link to the file, the only way to not have to clean up is using the same file to put it in (ie re-use it), but then I have to make some arrangements with respect to multithreading (happening when downloading videos).

But for now, it's not a real problem, more a kind of gut-feeling

Hi,

since a week or so i cannot download any subs from bierdopje.com. It used to work very good, i still can download from other sources (but they don't have dutch subs). I tried with xbmc and it can still download from bierdopje. So it is specific to SubtitleDownloader and SubCentral. I am using MP 1.2 with Subcentral 1.1.2 and subtitledownloader 3.0.5.
