Hello everyone,
I should start by saying I know close to nothing about the technicalities of dealing with tv and subtitles setup, so please bear with me here.
I purchased an M8S box about a year ago, and have been streaming movies and tv shows since. I have been using subtitles on a regular basis, my subtitles usually come from a drop down menu with OpenSubtitles being the first option, then Subscene, Makedie, and SubHD. OpenSubtitles always worked perfectly until recently when it stopped working altogether and my options go straight to Subscene, which never worked for me (I get a no data message every time I try to use it). The other 2 options also never worked, with the same no data message.
My M8S box used to work just fine, but recently it started giving me different looking link options for streaming, with most of them being invalid links. This started happening around the same time I lost the subtitles.
Does anyone know what all this means, and how to deal with it? Please keep in mind I know nothing about any of this, and have no clue what to do about it.
Thank you!

Re: Subtitles not working
Hi,
The following two topics may help answer some questions in regards to the problems you're facing and why:
Topic 1: viewtopic.php?f=11&t=17110
Topic 2: viewtopic.php?f=11&t=17128
I have no idea how that M8S box you're using works, but if you are able to log-in to opensubtitles.org on that box through the settings, then you need to do that for the subtitles to work again.
The topic links above will explain why a log-in is needed.
Best of luck

Re: Subtitles not working
Thank you for your response. I tried to login on my tv, but after I enter my username and password nothing happens. It just takes me back to a message saying no subtitles are available. I am not even able to login, it simply does not ’t give me the option to OK or Enter after filling in my username and password.
I understand this might be due to some changes you made, only allowing access to users who are able to login. This is creating a lot of problems for me. I used to really enjoy having the option to use subtitles. I even made an account here just to be able to get them, but it doesn’t seem to be working. I don’t know what else to do.

Re: Subtitles not working
Hi,
Your forum password and main site password aren’t connected. So make you have a login for the main-site.
You mentioned logging in through your TV, if that’s with via an internet page, then that won’t work. It needs to be through your box that connects to opensubtitles. If the said box doesn’t have an option for logging in, its developers would need to create one where their users can log-in.
As you can imagine, there are many people staying at home and using our service. Server load can’t accommodate everyone and can leave the site broken and unusable. This is unacceptable so we had to make this difficult decision.
As soon as the world is back to normal, maybe we will be, too.

Re: Subtitles not working
So we will no longer be able to download subtitles via VLC or Plex?
Re: Subtitles not working
With some programs I believe you still can use it. By fluke most likely.
We can't cope with the demand, hence we had to opt-in for the force log-in.
One could try other sites for subtitles, but when they receive as many API requests as we do, they to will most likely eventually terminate that service.
We get around 1000 requests per second, that's how many people want to use the API to connect to our service. Those levels can't be maintained without investing in more servers/databases or RAM.
Sorry.

Re: Subtitles Through Devices Not Working
Your situation is understandable, but highly disappointing, as there is no way to 'log-in' from the TV or VLC.
I do hope you guys consider going back to usual once this horrific lockdown goes away.

Re: Subtitles Through Devices Not Working
Fingers crossed, I'm sure we will.I do hope you guys consider going back to usual once this horrific lockdown goes away.
But doing it now will mean that the site will be unusable 90% of the time. That won't be good to anyone.
Possible solutions for certain devices you may be using: viewtopic.php?f=11&t=17153
