Hi. I'm using python mechanize to login to search for subtitles using your xml-rpc. I'm also using your hash method, but that's besides the point. The problem is that I'm encountering your captcha on the login process. Is becoming a VIP member the only solution or is there any other way to skip the captcha on login?

you can not use xml-rpc (please post REQUEST/RESPONSE) or you can not download subtitles ?

I cannot login with my script. Well I was able to login yesterday, and everything with my script worked until I hit the 200 daily limit (I have a lot of tv shows), so I added the limit to my script and waited 24 hours before trying again. Now my script can no longer login. My script is posting to http://www.opensubtitles.org/en/login W with the login form. What I'm getting back in response is a page confirming the login, but with a captcha field, so that any search my script does from that point on is responded with a captcha.
Here's the login response I'm getting today that I saved: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/169108/login.html

is there any reason why you are not using our API - XMLRPC? http://trac.opensubtitles.org/projects/ ... iki/XMLRPC

Well I thought I was. I developed this script over 3 years ago, and all this time I thought it was using xml-rpc, but only now I'm finding it hasn't been. I feel like an idiot.
So my dilema now is that I've become disabled in the 3 years since I first wrote the script and fixing my code is a rather difficult process for me, so if becoming a VIP member gets rid of the captcha all together, I'd rather do that in stead. So my question is: Does a captcha page EVER appear when a VIP member logs in?
Thank you for hanging in there for so long as I get my bearings.

when somebody use IP address used before for "not clear things such as spamming, malware distrubtion, robots..."
There are millions of users who use dynamic IP addresses. In fact there are more users using dynamic than static IP addresses.
according google analytics
As for Google Analytics data, I am afraid if a user decides not to solve the captcha and leave the website or if does not have support or does not allow the use of Javascript or specifically blocks scripts from third parties, Google Analytics does not collect any data for most of those typical scenarios.

Maybe the problem is the reluctant myth of geolocation. I strongly recommend to read the news about online casinos and how they lost more than a third of its potential customers due to their obsession with the myth of geolocation.

I'm getting captcha repeatedly, even after just solving it.
Windows chrome 40
I have hit the daily limit on my IP address once a few days ago though. It's been happening since.

Guys, I checked analytics, there is really not much people leaving because of Captcha. You are getting CAPTCHA for some reason, as I explained it. Also, there is CAPTCHA repeating for the reason (it should be random 1 in 200 hits or something like that after solving one Captcha).

If somebody can not solve the CAPTCHA, please contact me, record video, upload it, show me...

here it works.

Really doesn't work.

First of all, I'm a registered user, I'm logged in, why do I get it at all?
Secondly, there's no pic to solve, I just have to put the check mark next to " I'm not a robot" and then...do it again, and again, and again...wtf?
If u gonna implement something like this - fine, but make sure it works first.

Hi,

the problem is, also robots can log in. Also, there is way, that user log in manually, and then robots continue his work. So thats why even if you are logged in you are getting SOMETIMES captcha. It should be really sometimes.

if you can, show me on video, how you come to site, you get captcha, you solve it, and then you get it again - I test it here, and works ok - you solve captcha and then you should use the site normally.

for captcha to solve - yes, usually is enough to click "I am not robot", it is advanced captcha, so it is much more easy than to write letters from picture.

also make sure your cookies work - try in different browser.

I tried downloading the last remaining file in a 24 episode season (the pack had 101 subtitles, go figure..), I got an endless stream of CAPTCHAs after the first "robot" tickbox... with blurry small images and sushi thing that I wasn't even sure how it's supposed to look like.
And I created an account just to report that.
