stevehoffman203 16 Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 I received an email today from Open Subtitles regarding them retiring their original API at the end of 2023 and moving to a new REST API. The original API will only be available to their VIP(Paid) users. Is there a new Plugin in the works for this or will we need to become a VIP user? Thanks!

stevehoffman203 16 Posted November 13, 2023 Author Share Posted November 13, 2023 If we become a VIP member, will the existing plugin still work? Or is this just to try and get VIP members? Exciting news! OpenSubtitles.org is undergoing a transformation, retiring the original API by the end of 2023. Fear not, as this paves the way for the advanced OpenSubtitles.com REST API.

jaycedk 389 Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 I don't see the offer you are referring to when clicking you links. But that might work for you. Since its only the .org that will require vip. And when Emby devs, have created the .com version of it, that should work too + vip status at OpenSubtitles.com ( If that's the offer, can't see it from you links ) With this OpenSubtitles offer I would think you are golden, ( which I don't see ) Access to both for a year, and for less money. Hope this makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaycedk 389 Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 (edited) Hmm some of your links is dated back to March 1, 2016. So tbh not sure about any of it. Edited November 13, 2023 by jaycedk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehoffman203 16 Posted November 13, 2023 Author Share Posted November 13, 2023 I honestly don't know either. That is just a copy/paste of the email that I received. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37125 Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 HI, We've just completed the work to switch to the new API but haven't started rolling it out to users just yet. So stay tuned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes because we plan to release 4.8 to stable before then. If for some reason we don't, then we'll update the 4.7 version of the plugin. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't read anything there besides old API retiring by year-end: Quote * 2023-12-31 end of life, API endpoint will be turned off https://forum.opensubtitles.org/viewtopic.php?t=17930#p47873 So not quite clear what issues poster is facing. Maybe I'm just missing something. Edited December 3, 2023 by GrimReaper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heffeque 39 Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 That either it gets fixed before year end, or we won't get access to those subtitles. It would be good if the fix is out at least a few weeks before year end, just in case there are further bugs to fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. This: On 12/2/2023 at 11:09 PM, BbPp0mvrj said: It's been a few years since I've had to manually push subtitles like now implies they're facing some issues now, not that they might potentially face it. And I was interested what those are. As for: 8 minutes ago, heffeque said: It would be good if the fix is out at least a few weeks before year end, just in case there are further bugs to fix. Sure, but IMHO that was referred to by Dev's response earlier in the thread: On 11/14/2023 at 8:08 AM, Luke said: We've just completed the work to switch to the new API but haven't started rolling it out to users just yet On 11/15/2023 at 6:21 AM, Luke said: we plan to release 4.8 to stable before then. If for some reason we don't, then we'll update the 4.7 version of the plugin. So I'd assume they've got it covered.

heffeque 39 Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 (edited) Yup, that "manually push subtitles like now" is a bit strange. I just hope the fix is backported to 4.7, for those of us who are afraid of updating to 4.8 stable too soon (I'd rather wait for a bit to see how things work out for most people, as having potential issues with Emby during winter festivities won't be an ideal situation for me).
