Is there a database of subtitles besides Opensubtitles that we can use as a fallback? It would be great if there was a Github repo with a updated lists of .SRT files we can download at our leisure.
Only caveats:
- Github wouldn't like millions flocking to a repo to grab files.
- I'm not sure sharing of subtitles fall under 'copyright violations'. It's a bit of a grey area. (it's just text right?!)
- sodality2 5y ago> (it's just text right?!) So are books unfortunately. I would really love if there was an open subtitle repo though. Hell I'd even help make it myself but xkcd/927 and whatnot.
- FabHK 5y agoThere's a python "app" called subliminal (with a simple CLI) that handles the whole enchilada for you - identify the movie, contact several subtitle dbs to download the appropriate subtitles. Not sure how up-to-date it is kept, but for me it works reasonably well, except for obscure films. https://github.com/Diaoul/subliminal https://github.com/Diaoul/subliminal
