"johab" sounds weird. lets try latin1
iconv -f latin1 -t utf8 *.srt >/dev/null && echo ok
# ok
success! so its a bug in chardet ...
todo: workaround: when conversion to utf8 fails, keep the original file, show a warning, rename the result file to $basename.noutf8.$extension, for example Irreversible.2002.en.1952041941.noutf8.srt
Hi !
Thank you for you work.
Are you interested in providing support for other subtitles websites (like tvsubtitles.net ?
Kind regards,

i just got this email
OpenSubtitles.org is undergoing a transformation, retiring the original API by the end of 2023
Exciting news! OpenSubtitles.org is undergoing a transformation, retiring the original API by the end of 2023. Fear not, as this paves the way for the advanced OpenSubtitles.com REST API. We also understand, in some scenarios there is no way to use new API yet, so original API will be available from New Year only for VIP Users.
so this will stop working in 7 weeks
Line 26 in 0ac57a8
new api: https://www.opensubtitles.com/docs/api/html/index.htm
one nice thing about the move from .org to .com is that .com has all subtitles in utf8 encoding
it will be interesting, how many subs will be broken, because guessing the encoding is not trivial, see #37
I had problems downloading subtitles for a file containing '[' and ']' in the filename, because you are using the glob package on all arguments. I believe that at least on Unix-based operating systems you shouldn't apply glob to the arguments, since Unix shells already apply glob to the command lines.
Anyway, even on Windows it will fail when there are '[' or ']' on the filename.
Hi!
Any chance to have the latest release also tagged, so that the tarballs are created by github? That would be awesome!
Cheers!

First of all, thanks for your very useful program. I've been using it a lot.
I would like to suggest an option for adding more than one filename. It can be useful for downloading subtitles for tv series that comes in multiple files.
When searching by filename in this case "Buster's Mal Heart (2017) BR-Rip AC3 6 [FGT].mkv" subdl finds no subtitle, but renaming the file to "Buster's Mal Heart" it does.
Maybe an option to download by movie name?
Thanks
Hello
When using "--lang=eng,pob" subdl downloads only the first subtitle found in the first language defined.
I always download subtitles in both languages so I need to run first "--lang=eng --output={m}.{L}.{S}" and then "--lang=pob --output={m}.{L}.{S}" to download in both langages
thanks
use argparse to parse arguments
currently, we must set options first
subdl --option movie.mkv
but this should work too
subdl movie.mkv --option
I have tried multiple other solutions and this is the best one at this moment. My only gripe is that for some languages default format is most often txt (which some players acknowledge, but never auto-load) with pre-utf8 encoding (which requires separate tool to correct it) and right now, unlike competitors, subdl has no built-in option to correct these problems.
Also, being able to check file encoding could also help with (automatic) subtitle selection, since newer, more likely to be better subtitles don't use anything else than unicode.
If possible, I'd like to contribute at least a preliminary support for post-processing, but before I do that I'd like to know how should I attempt it.
problem: search is too narrow
example:
subdl --download=all Some.Movie.2022.720p.WEBRip.x264-SomeReleaser.mkv
this will not find other releases, with different resolution/codec/releaser/source/container/...
Some.Movie.2022.720p.WEBRip.x264-SomeReleaser.mkv # query
Some.Movie.2022.1080p.WEBRip.x264-SomeReleaser.mkv
Some.Movie.2022.720p.WEBRip.x265-SomeReleaser.mkv
Some.Movie.2022.720p.WEBRip.x264-OtherReleaser.mkv
Some.Movie.2022.720p.BluRay.x264-SomeReleaser.mkv
Some.Movie.2022.720p.WEBRip.x264-SomeReleaser.mp4
...
expected: also search by movie name and year (Some Movie 2022)

Please merge
by default, subdl uses "search by movie hash" to find subtitles
problem: when i have a 720p release, it has a different movie hash than a 1080p release, so subdl finds less subtitles than expected
potential problem with "search by filename": abbreviated filenames like asdf.mp4. maybe change the default to "search by filename", and add a hybrid mode "search by filename and movie hash"
continue #31
