Hi,

You can use: https://github.com/vankasteelj/opensubt ... /tag/2.5.0
More info about it here: viewtopic.php?f=11&t=15404#p33021

The advantage is users being able to find subtitles that fits their release more easily.
When you upload with a program, the program attaches a "hash" to that upload with details of the video size, length and FPS. So when other users drag and drop their video file into the search bar, the available "hashed" subs show up in the results that should match their video file.

If you have a video file, drag and drop it into the search bar and see if it works.
It also helps users who use programs (Kodi, Plex, etc) to watch their media collection grab and download those files matching with their movies/series automatically.

Hope that helps.
