Open Subtitles - How does it work?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi there,

I've been playing with the Open Subtitles plugin and it works just fine (thanks for that) but I've still got a question:

If I set it up to download subs automatically and there a many subs for a particular movie/episode how does it select the one it downloads at the end?
Do the downloads count or the so called "trusted sources" on OpenSubtitles?

Unfortunately, the KB doesn't provide information on this.
Thank you!

IIRC, order is Hash > Name > IMDB Id.

Yea that is correct.

I think we missunderstood each other, maybe my question wasn't precise enough.

I guess, that's the way how a potential subtitles are identified but what happens next?

The episode is matched and now there are 5 different subtitles matching the episode and language, which does the plugin pick?

If any of them is a hash match - that one. If no, filename comparison next etc. If all are hash-match, then what difference does it make? Shouldn't they theoretically be the same? 

Edit: Or maybe I'm simply not understanding what you're asking? 🤷‍♂️
