teras / jubler Goto Github PK

Hello teras.
Jubler hangs (crashes) when I go File -> Open. I did uncheck the "JDK" option during install.

Windows 10, Oracle JDK 1.8.0_181

As the title says, I can't save a modified subtitle on Windows.

When I double clic a subtitle file in windows explorer, it opens on Jubler, I do a modification, but when saving I get a message that the .srt file is unwritable. Obviously the file is not open by another app. I can also open Jubler from start menu, manualy open the sub, modify it and then I get the same error. I have to Save as.. to save as a new subtitle.

Can anyone test?

video is playing normally in the Mplayer but it's a separate window which is very inconvenient, and it's playing on 1fps in the jubler app, which is useless.
I'm on an M1 MacBook Air; MacOS Ventura 13.4

I'll try XQuartz and give updates

Καλησπέρα,

Is it possible to have some build instructions for macos or at least an executable that runs on 10.13.6 (high sierra)? Not everyone has upgraded to the latest macos and the alpha release needs a bit of manual work to get compiled and then the generated jar doesn't start (something about input != null). It'll be great if we had instructions to create the .app file.

Maybe you could add a possibility to use speech2text services like the following into Jubler, to allow for machine based auto-transcription.

Thank you very much for the program distributed under a free open license! Added a program to a Russian-language site about free software, here is the link.

Please do not drop the project, this is a very interesting program!

Would it be possible to have an AppImage that starts Jubler using the sun.java2d.uiScale variable:

#!/bin/sh

cd `dirname $0`
java -Dsun.java2d.uiScale=2 -jar lib/jubler.jar

This works fine on OpenJDK 11 (but not OpenJDK 8) for the Generic Java version (but the FFDecode library is not active).

There seems to be an audio lag using xpra and run_scaled, and the only other alternative I've found on Gnome on Fedora 30 is to reduce my screen resolution to 1080 when using Jubler.

[Not sure this is an issue on KDE – I don't currently have it installed. Doesn't seem to be an issue on Gnome on Ubuntu.]

Hi,
After upgrading 7 alpha to 7, my MPlayer Extended rev16 (1610) stopped to smoothly work. When trying to play movie from editor, Jubler suddenly exits leaving no message whatsoever. It keeps doing this as long as I separately launch MPlayer. I am not quite sure of the details, but pre-launching in some way MPlayer is certainly seems to be a prerequisite to be able to work later from editor.

Feature request: add support for drtic subtitles (.dtc extension).

Sample subtitles:

• a.cry.in.the.dark.(1988).eng.1cd.(93610).dtc
• miami.vice.brothers.keeper.(1984).eng.1cd.(4362446).dtc
• psycho.(1960).spa.1cd.(32930).dtc
• grave.of.the.fireflies.(1988).ger.1cd.(111533).dtc
• the.life.of.david.gale.(2003).jpn.2cd.(151590).dtc
• aladdin.(1992).bos.1cd.(4030548).dtc

Hello.

In the software Wiki, it says that this software can "Clear areas used for hearing impaired".
However, there is no option for finding hearing impaired lines and removing them! I have to manually find them and remove them one by one.

Why is this feature mentioned in the wiki when it is not actually there ??? I wasted a good 10minute trying to do this automatically like it is implied from the wiki, without results.

Of course, thanks for the developers. But please remove this feature from the wiki as it is simply not there.

When I click on "Play current subtitle" on Arch Linux, I do not hear the full subtitle (unless it is short). A .wav file is created in /tmp with the full audio for the subtitle. It is not deleted. This is the case for all versions of Java.

On Fedora Linux, the subtitle is played, a .wav file is created in /tmp and then deleted after the subtitle has played. Nothing wrong, no problem.

No significant difference in terminal output on Arch or Fedora when running Jubler from terminal.

Any ideas, please? No response to my post on Arch forum.

Since the v7.0.3 there's no "subtitle.icns" and it's association. I don't know if it's an issue or it's deliberate.
Thanks for the program!!!!! Cheers!

I have been using Jubler a lot for many years (many thanks for this program), and there are three small things I'd like to have:

• The ability to define a default encoding for saved files (I'd like it to be UTF-8 to get rid of undisplayable characters like "œ" in ISO Latin-1)
• The possibility to set the default setting for reencoding, time shifting, ... : for example, 90% of the time I do reencoding from 23,976 FPS to 25 FPS globally (to adapt dowloaded US subtitles to French broadcast capture), so I would like to have the selection set to time interval, from 0:00:... to 24:00:.. by default
• The possibility to redo the last edit. For example, it would be very useful when shifting time: you add 200 ms to fine tune the shift, then again, etc. until it's good

Following problem shows up with the Windows 64 bit version: "FFDecode library not active. Using demo image." No Waveform preview is generated and no video preview. The Windows 32 bit version doesn't have this problem.

When I right click on a .srt file and choose 'Open with' Jubler, it
doesn't open Jubler at all.
It also doesn't start if I run C:\Program Files\Jubler\Jubler.exe from
the command line.
It only works if I run java -jar C:\Program Files\Jubler\lib\jubler.jar

I'm using Window 7 64bit, java 1.8.0_221, and Jubler 6.0.2

The ouptut from 'java -jar jubler.jar' is:

Hello, I'm not very familiar with the inner workings of various subtitle formats, but have come across a few .sub files that have a text formatting markup in this style:

{483}{531}{y:i}* But we made it through *

(The asterisks are part of the displayed line, according to how mpv is treating this)
Jubler doesn't recognise the markup and considers it part of the line to be displayed. Saving the subtitle into srt (my primary use case, as MKV-merge doesn't support sub) in Jubler results in this:

6
00:00:20,145 --> 00:00:22,147
{y:i}* But we made it through *

mpv just ignores this and displays the line with default type.
When converting with ffmpeg, the line is converted to this:

5
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:21,240
<i>* But we made it through *</i>

This displays in italics, as it does with the original sub file.

According the website the program is written in Java 1.5.0.

It is open source under a liberal (GNU) public license. It is written in Java 5.0 (a.k.a. Java 1.5.0) in order to be really multi-platform. It has been tested under Linux, Windows XP and Mac OS X.

But even if I have Java 1.8 (Version 8 Update 381) on my Windows 11 Pro it doesn't run:

Error: A JNI error has occurred, please check your installation and try again
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: Jubler has been compiled by a more recent version of the Java Runtime (class file version 58.0), this version of the Java Runtime only recognizes class file versions up to 52.0

Oracle Docs says that Java 1.5 is class version 49, but we see that program has class version 58 (Java 14).

Contrary to previous versions, 8.0.0 doesn't allow to open directly a .srt file through the Finder and the Dock. This includes:

• clicking on a .srt file while Jubler is the default app. It will launch Jubler 8, with a new window
• dragging and dropping a file on the Jubler icon in the dock. It will do the same (new window, without any content)

The only way to open a subtitle file is to launch Jubler first, then to open it from the app.

My MacOS version is 14.3.

Γέια σου,

using the generic binary distribution on Linux, when I run the tool, the localized gui was not working: Unable to locate language cs, although it is in the i18n folder.
I suspected that it was related to the paths, so I tried to move the jubler script file into the lib folder and modified the line to: java -jar jubler.jar, and now it works.
I am not sure why is this happening and whether you would do something with that, but I just wanted to let you know.

Ευχαριστώ

Jubler starts with an JRELoadError dialog.
I'm running macOS 10.14.6

java -version

openjdk version "12.0.2" 2019-07-16
OpenJDK Runtime Environment AdoptOpenJDK (build 12.0.2+10)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM AdoptOpenJDK (build 12.0.2+10, mixed mode, sharing)

Is there an issue with the AdoptOpenJDK implementation?

Dear teras, following a series of suggestion to improve Jubler's usability.

• The "join entries" function, once it has merged adjacent subtitles,
  should also check if the resulting subtitles has empty lines, and if that's the case, delete it;
  plus, if the two lines can be compacted into one; it should do that automatically;

====================================

• Also, it would be nice to have another feature,
  called "Merging Suggestions",
  activated by a shortcut, so that:

If
two adjacent subtitles respect ALL the following conditions:

• they're one right after the other;
• the sum of their lines isn't higher then "Maximum number of lines per subtitles" (by default:2)
• the sum of their length is less then "Maximum duration per subtitle"
  (by default: 7 seconds)

Then

those two should be highlighted with a color that's different than the other possible ones,
so the user can immediately check them and consider whether to merge them or not.

If subtitle 1 could be merged to 2, and 2 could be merged to 3,
then subtitles 1,2 and 3 should all be highlighted.

====================================

• Jubler then should:
  • put "srt" as the default file saving extension, or;
  • remember the last format of file you saved. If you saved a file as an srt, then the next time it should also save the file by default as an srt, unless you specify differently.
    ====================================
• Jubler should communicate with Aeneas (source code on github, executable on request);
  ====================================
• Jubler should communicate with subfixer (https://github.com/chetan-prime/subfixer).
  In particular, one should also be able to use subfixer for:
  a) fixing a whole subtitle file;
  b) fixing individual subtitles;
  c) performing a "perfection check" that checks if ALL subtitles of a given file are compliant with th set guidelines, and if so informs the user that the subtitle file is perfectly compliant with Jubler0s quality controls.
  ====================================
• making Jubler communicate con VLC (and embed the video window into the upper left frame of the preview mode - where now is the parrot)
  ====================================
• In the Preview mode, it would greatly help not to have overlapping subtitles. At the very least, the user should have the option to have them overlappable or not.
  ====================================
• In /Tools/Shift Interval, along with the very interval
  (like, -00:01:25, 643)
  a user might also benefit to enter two reference timestamps
  (like, move from 00:02:50,743 to 00:01:25,100)
  instead of manually calculating the interval between the two.
  ====================================
• In file /Preferences/shortcuts there's an option for "Split... in place proportionally".
  It might come handy to introduce another shortcut that extends the concept across several subtitles. Like, I select subtitle 4 to 6, type a shortcut, and jubler recalculates the timing of each of this three subtitles as a ratio between the number of characters of that individual subtitle on the sum of characters in subtitles 4,5 and 6 (hope it makes sense :).
  ====================================
• Unlike Windows and Mac, in Linux version when you either open or save a file,
  the GTK for browsing the filesystem is still old-fashion
  ====================================
• Packaging an appImage version for ARM processor, that can also run on a Raspberry Pi 4
  ====================================

And that's it. Keep up the fantastic work :)

Hello, in macOS 10.14.6 in the 7.0.0 version the custom keyboard shortcuts are not working.
I can create custom shortcuts in system preferences which are visible in the menu of Jubler, but they don't work. They are working in version 6.
Thanks!

Hi,
what about to make flatpak build and upload it to Flathub for easy Linux installation?

The latest download 7alpha no longer works with OSX 10.13

The error message "FFDecode Library inactive..." is displayed with a demo image instead of the movie still.

Configuration : macOS 10.15.4
video format : h.264 mp4 file

Reproduction steps:

1. Open Jubler for the first time.
2. Click File > Open
3. Select the video file (.mkv) I want to subtitle (which is not greyed out and is selectable) and click "open".
4. Nothing happens. No pop-up saying "incompatible file type, only the following types are allowed" or anything.

OS: Mac 10.14.4
Jubler version: 6.0.pre6

Jubler doesn't give option to edit the Name field of dialogues. But if an ASS file which has values for Name field is opened in Jubler, those values are stripped when Jubler saves the file.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create subtitle file with Name field in another editor e.g. AegiSub bob alice aegisub.ass.txt

2. Open the same file in Jubler. Modify and save it.
3. Open the file in the other editor. You'll now see that the values of Name field are lost.

Even if Jubler doesn't support this field, it must be preserved when editing a file to ensure compatibility with other editors. The Name field is useful for working with dialogues.

Seems that Jubler can't generate frame previews from h265 videos. Is there a fix for this?
Thank you.

hey @teras - I've noticed that the code signature has changed in the latest macOS release (https://github.com/teras/Jubler/releases/download/v8.0.0/Jubler-8.0.0.dmg)

EXPECTED 'Panayotis Katsaloulis (FFH43J7NR5)'
FOUND 'Greek Universities Network (2EPBLQ4224)'

can you confirm this? thanks!

the 7.03 class version 58 not 52, can't run with java 1.8
in project say java 1.8, but not, please check

Please map a keyboard shortcut to the 'play current subtitle' Its the speaker icon on the left

Youtube seems to have dropped the ability to download a video's subtitles as an srt and now only offers their own sbv.
I've used Jubler to stripout the timecode info for creating a text script.
The workaround is to convert the sbv to srt here: https://gotranscript.com/subtitle-converter, then using Jubler.
Seems like an easily fix to add sbv support.
Thanks for creating this useful program.
