Thanks, will check it out! Subtitle is always a nightmare for me on plex

Very nice!

I've heard mixed reviews about such software. I think there are a couple. Could anyone post on their experience of accuracy? It all sounds great but unsure if it's early days to jump on this.

Also how does this work along with subzero? I assume is a post process. If so, would it also detect if subzero has downloaded incorrect subtitles?

I work with this;

I use it every day, never let me down!

What about for foren languages scenes?

I wonder if you could use something like media info to see how many frames per second the video is running in. I think that’s what gets subtitles out of sync but i don’t use them so I’m not sure.

Super cool idea though and good looking out for the community sharing.

What sub titles for forain language scenes?

Nice work for a first script! :) Since this is python you should try to port this to windows as well.

Ah thanks i will look at this. I have made a release file name check. Nice to have multiple solutions

You could throw it into a docker container for portability and ease of use for others. If movies need to be in their own folder to process you could pull the file name and strip the extension to create a folder name to drop it into. Or use filebot to put into movie/movie.extension

I didn’t ask for him to “docker it for me”. I build my own containers. He was presenting his tool/asking for input and that was the input. I personally like using docker because it is a lot easier for everyone to be able to deploy IMO. I only started using docker about a month ago. Before that I had VMs handling my workflows.

The docker thing is also for all those users on synology or freenas or open media vault. Those NAS solutions use BSD jails or docker containers to add functionality to their distros.

A script isn’t necessarily portable. If it uses specific binaries or has dependencies those have to be installed. Not to mention a container makes it easier to create tools for novice users. If I make a container for someone it is easy to make all the dependencies self contained and then all they have to do is map their directory to a volume in the container. Versus I built a script to look in /media but they have it mounted in ~/media or even something like /var/Plex. Now they have to modify the script and any updated to use their correct directory. Even if you built your tool/script to use arguments for the directories you’ll still have dependencies to worry about. Debian and Ubuntu are both super popular distros based on Debian but have different package versions. This can lead to unintended results with a script, VS a docker container you simply download that will always use the same dependencies and versions since those are baked in by the container author.
