opensubtitles.org API returns stub subtitle for all searches as it is no longer functional #11643
Comments
I would be willing to create the code for the new Opensubtitle API. |
I don't think that will happen as the free use of the API is pretty limited. If you register as user of opensubtitles, you van create an API key yourself. Wouldn't it be a better solution to make this key a configurable option? In addition to to the current user/pass combination (it looks as if the use of the API key when logged in is less limited). (But it might be that I completely misunderstood the new API scheme) |
No that's not the case I am using this in my own private application and are willing to share the code with Medusa. |
Is there any update on this? |
No response from any of the developers! |
Yup turned off opensubtitles for exactly this reason - too many useless 1kb files. Only allows you 10 files a day |
Describe the bug
The opensubtitles.org API no longer functions for non VIP members, but 'no longer functions' is implemented as 'responds with a one line subtitle to every request'. This means that applications like Medusa thinks it has the subtitle and downloads it.
To Reproduce
Check any subtitle downloaded via the opensubtitles API after Jan 1st, 2024
Expected behavior
To avoid misinterpretation it is better to remove the opensubtitles provider. Users with VIP access can activate the opensubtitlesvip provider and it will continue to work (for now). Those without VIP access will no longer get these stub subtitles.
Additional context
Supporting the new API would be a nice update for Medusa. Information can be found here.
