Since the migration of OpenSubtitles I am increasingly encountering an error in the formatting of certain downloaded srt files, preventing them to load properly in VLC Player and my subtitle editor (Jubler for OS X). Opening these files in a text editor reveals that the timestamps have a dot instead of a comma between the seconds and milliseconds.
For example:
00:02:33.419 --> 00:02:36.130
instead of
00:02:33,419 --> 00:02:36,130
I'm guessing this occurs in roughly 20% of the srt files that I download.
I've never had this problem before the migration (i.e. when downloading directly from opensubtitles.org), so I'm inclined to think it is related.
Has anyone else encountered this issue?
Is this a bug resulting from the website migration or is it something unrelated, possibly platform-specific, on my side?
Is there a simple workaround? Batch replacing all dots with commas will also affect the actual content of the subtitles.
kind regards and thanks in advance for replies.
