Add / Update Video File Hash

Sun Nov 15, 2020 10:04 am

Hi everyone. I would like to know if it's possible to contribute to the website, not uploading/duplicating subtitles, but updating/adding a new video hash compatible with the ones that were already uploaded by someone else?

For example: I download a video file from the internet and search for a subtitle by name because the hash search returns no result. After finding a subtitle that is compatible with my video file, I would like to "tell" opensubtitles "hey, next time someone search for this hash, tell them that this subtitle is compatible".

I use Opensubtitles Uploader to calculate the hash.

Very good, this definitely helps.

In short, reupload the EXACT same subtitle and upload it with the Opensubtitles Uploader, including the hash of the matching video file. The subtitle will NOT be uploaded, but the hash will be added (after some time).
Important: the subtitle file must be 100% exactly the same. For example, DO NOT open and save it in Subtitle Edit, it will not be the same anymore and the subs will actually be reuploaded.

The long version of the answer is only in Dutch, but maybe Google can help, at least for once:

Nowadays a VPN is a must for everyone. A VPN allows you safe surfing and protects you against spying governments and companies.
I advise AirVPN - from € 2,75 per month. Click the below banner for more info.

I got it, you will match the hashes on your side updating only what's relevant (video hash) and discarding the subtitle file.
Thank you.
