VLSub

Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): https://github.com/exebetche/vlsub

Description:

VLSub is not working with Vlc 2.1.x, please update to 2.2.

Search and download subtitles from opensubtitles.org using the hash of the video currently playing or its title.
INSTALLATION:
- download the file from the "Files" tab above
- create a directory "extensions" at this location and put the file "vlsub.lua" inside:
* Windows (all users): %ProgramFiles%VideoLANVLCluaextensions
* Windows (current user): %APPDATA%vlcluaextensions
* Linux (all users): /usr/lib/vlc/lua/extensions/
* Linux (current user): ~/.local/share/vlc/lua/extensions/
* Mac OS X (all users): /Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/share/lua/extensions/
* Mac OS X (current user): /Users/%your_name%/Library/Application Support/org.videolan.vlc/lua/extensions/

...or use the installer below if you're on Windows 7 (32 or 64)

To start the extension click on View > VLSub or Vlc > Extensions > VLSub on Mac OS.

Limitation

* Impossible to automatically save the subtitles on Windows if the path to your video contain non ASCII (non-english) characters and the "search by hash" method will be slower.
* The "search by hash" method will fail on Windows if for video files >2Go (if VLC is compiled with lua 5.1 anyway)

/! Troubleshooting /!

If you have other issue you can ask for a solution here or on github but please get the full vlc debug log and add it as a pastebin to your post. The procedure is explained here:

Done and now it works. It would be interesting though that someone updates the Change Log because it still mentions that it's version 0.10.0. Thank you!

Have you tried contacting the opendesktop Team? They can probably reset your password to gain access again.

How can be set than default menu language the Hungarian (hun)?
Default language by replacing nil with example:

-- language = "hun", in the
local options = {
language = nil, <==== ?

Where is he the vlsub_master "locale" the place of a folder?

The language support seems to be broken (at least that's what it looked like when I tried to apply a patch for Finnish language). I'll try to fix it when I have so time. The original developer hasn't been providing any patches lately.

Are you sure VLC is reporting the version number as 0.10.2 when looking at the VLC Extensions menu? If not, you have not installed the latest version correctly.

Salutations :)

Windows 8.1 64b, VLC 64b 2.2.4.

J'avais des gros soucis avec le greffon, il ne répondait plus et ne retournait aucun résultat. J'ai pu résoudre le souci manuellement comme ceci apparemment (sans comprendre ce qui ne va pas précisément).

- fermer VLC.

- supprimer fichier vlsub.lua dans :
%APPDATA%\VLC\lua\extensions
%PROGRAMFILES(X86)%\VideoLAN\VLC\lua\extensions
%PROGRAMFILES%\VideoLAN\VLC\lua\extensions

- supprimer répertoire vlsub dans :
%APPDATA%\VLC\lua\extensions\userdata

Puis j'ai manuellement copié le dernier fichier uniquement vlsub.lua (0.10.0 qui provient d'ici https://addons.videolan.org/p/1154045/#files-panel) dans :
%APPDATA%\VLC\lua\extensions

Le greffon fonctionne alors sans souci -par hash ou nom- (sinon que je n'arrive pas à le 'franciser' via l'interface qui ne répond plus).

-----------------------------
Windows 8.1 64b, VLC 64b 2.2.4. Manually fix problems.

- shut down VLC

- delete manually all file vlsub.lua in :
%APPDATA%\VLC\lua\extensions
%PROGRAMFILES(X86)%\VideoLAN\VLC\lua\extensions
%PROGRAMFILES%\VideoLAN\VLC\lua\extensions

- delete manually folder vlsub in
%PROGRAMFILES%\VideoLAN\VLC\lua\extensions

Save file vlcsub.lua (0.10.0 from here https://addons.videolan.org/p/1154045/#files-panel) in
%APPDATA%\VLC\lua\extensions

Seems working for research by hash ou name.
Only the choice of language of interface seems doesn't work.

The only problem I have been having with this is it does not reset itself after downloading a subtitle. On next search it tries to search for the previous file. It must be deactivated and restarted to work.

i dont like the opensubtitles subs: - they insert advertising inside the movie! - they mention their name at the end of the subtitles, BEFORE the end of the movie, come on, could they wait the credits at least ? - many times the subs found are not accurate to the file, not synced, or HI Now i get subs from subscene, they're more reliable and less annoying. Too bad because VLSub was a great idea.
