Opensubtitles - Paid

[chief2810 5]

It now seems Opensubtitles only allow a maximum of 5 subtitle downloads per day unless you are willing to pay (which I am as I use them a lot) 

However it seems you can't just upgrade from VIP to the next level up - you have to become a consumer - then purchase a product then somehow put the API key from Opensubtitles into Emby? 

I have no idea how to do this? Has anybody managed?

Thanks

Hmm all I currently get from opensubtitles.com is Forbidden. org resolves but com does not.

But I will assume the devs will have to update the plugin to allow usage of new system instead of just username/password.

HI, to download more you'll need OpenSubtitles VIP access.

But stay tuned. We have a deal with OpenSubtitles that will benefit our Emby Premiere users, although we haven't rolled this out yet.

I have VIP 

 

However they’ve recently changed that you can only do 5 downloads a day. 
 

Anymore than that and it won’t allow you to download. 
 

Are you confirming you’re working with them to remove the 5 download limit rate? 
 

thanks

Where did you obtain that information? I've just downloaded 10 consecutive subs with no issues nor can I find any reference on that restriction for anyone save unauthenticated users.

I would presume that relates to consumers, not users. You don't need an API key to use Opensubtitles plugin with Emby.

Our API is using 2 authentication mechanisms. One with a static API key, related to an application or service, refered to as consumer in this documentation (HTTP header "Api-Key"), and one with a JWT related to a user (HTTP header "Authorization").
