For a specific TV show, plugin can search but not download in 12.0.0, and not search at all in 18.0.0 about jellyfin-plugin-opensubtitles

Argh, after going to opensubtitles.com and manually downloading the subtitle for that episode(they show a download like they have it), the .srt is 0kb, just empty.

Furthermore, when downloading from opensubtitles.org for the same episode, the .zip contains an empty .srt and a non empty subtitle .ass file. I'm guessing opensubtitles.com hasn't implemented the .ass download in their api.

So it seems the latest plugin detects this and shows an empty search, I guess. Closing this.

Correct, the latest version detects empty subtitle files (but doesn't log that "properly" in the logs 🙁)

As for the .ass thing, I read that they (opensubtitles) were running some DB maintenance lately. It is also possible that that subtitle file is just broken or there's an outage right now

I'll ask about it in a few days if the issue persists

Nice catch!
