ChrisJ60 8 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Emby Server 4.7.14.0 Today I found that Emby is no longer able to download subtitles from OpenSubtitles.org. A quick check reveals that as from today (2024-01-01) the OpenSubtitles.org API is only available to / usable by VIP members. Okay, so I am a VIP member of OpenSubtitles.org, but... If I do not tick the box to say that I am a VIP member in Emby's OpenSubtitles settings then Emby happily searches for and displays subtitles like it used to. But if I try to view or download any subtitles then it tells me the I need to become an OpenSubtitles VIP member. Fair enough. If I do tick the box to say that I am a VIP member then Emby does not return any errors but any attempt to search for subtitles returns nothing at all. I suspect that maybe something changed with the API and now Emby is not interacting with it correctly for VIP members, but that is just a guess. In any event, things seem broken at the moment  There is nothing obvious (to me at least) in the Emby logs (the most recent one which includes several failed attempts to retrieve subtitles is attached).  embyserver.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goose26 1 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Same issue here. Also running into any show that uses OpenSubtitles is now displaying a message saying to become a VIP member rather than showing any of the dialogue spoken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkassassin07 434 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Yup. Opensubtitles.org has moved to a new api that requires an account to use. Â Â Emby has negotiated a bypass for this, but it's implemented in server v4.8. Not v4.7. Â Gonna have to wait till the beta finally releases into stable.

Q-Droid 670 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Nothing has changed for me. The plugin is working on 4.7.14, same as before. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
js28194 15 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 I think they are moving to opensubtitles.com... and if you noticed even being a VIP member, Emby doesn't ask for API key only username and password. API key's are for "addons" which I don't think Emby uses and addon based solution, just a web login solution. Could be wrong, but no change for me either, working fine.

HolyGigi 13 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 For me it still doesn't work.  I've replaced the dll file in all 3 folders where I found it, restarted emby server, re-added my login information in the plugin, but still fails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fails how? Server log? And is your login information based on opensubtitles.com? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisJ60 8 Posted January 9 Author Share Posted January 9 @Luke Thanks. Will it work for a VIP member of OpenSubtitles? I have both .org and .com accounts (with the same credentials). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisJ60 8 Posted January 9 Author Share Posted January 9 @LukeI just tested it and it seems to work okay. Search works and I was able to download several subtitle files. Is it okay to leave this in place or will it cause problems for any future automated updates of the plugin (I assume there is an autoupdate mechanism?). Thanks!

ChrisJ60 8 Posted January 9 Author Share Posted January 9 @LukeI also meant to ask if it is now a requirement to be an OpenSubtitles VIP member to download subtitles? Just curious as I wasn't one before but I'm not sure if Emby has any special arrangement with OpenSubtitles in this regard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HolyGigi 13 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Created an account now on .com and it works, it also inherited the VIP status from .org since I used the same login information. Thx for the .dll 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F1nchy 24 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Hi guys I have this issue too. So, is Opensubs .org and .com the same thing? My VIP is due to renew in a week, thinking I need to cancel the auto-renewal if VIP for one is not the same as VIP for the other! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisJ60 8 Posted January 10 Author Share Posted January 10 @F1nchyThey are not identical but they are essentially the same organization. If you go to Opensubtitles.com then they have a mechanism there that will let you migrate your .org account, including any associated VIP membership, over to .com. I did this a few weeks ago and with the new DLL that Luke posted subtitle search and download is working fine for me now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
