I'll look into it ...

ok, I'll look into it.

in the meantime, please, also make sure your preferences are saved, i.e. check 'oscar.ini' to see if your login credentials are stored in SERVERS section. If not try pressing the 'Save' button in 'Preferences'.

also check the 'Log' tab. Attempts to login (and get token) should be displayed there. See if there are any errors logged. if not send me a sample log output via PM.

i like oscar. if only the site/data weren't unavailable so many times, or so slow that the program timed out.

Simple and clean interface :)

Could you add an installer, please?

NSIS is a good one and is free.

Bug in Registry Settings

Tue Dec 30, 2008 10:06 pm

Hi there, just thought I'd let you know about a bug in the way you store the settings in the registry for the "Search" commands.

Where you have:

Code: Select all

path\to\oscar.exe /search "%1"
You should use:

Code: Select all

"path\to\oscar.exe" /search "%1"
Note the quotation marks around the path to the program. If the path has a space in it, all files passed to it as parameters end up using MSDOS style 8.3 file names - which is totally undesirable when naming subtitles after its parent video file.

Extra command line options and the ability to automate things more would be nice; my biggest wish would be to automatically download a subtitle when I play a video, which you could probably do if you have OSCAR use ShellExec (or the Delphi equivalent) to run the video file after the subtitle is downloaded.

Anyway, great program, keep up the good work.

I'm not entirely sure what you need an installer for. You just unpack the distribution archive and run the exe file, as simple as that. If I used an installer it would probably do just that anyway, not sure what else to do. :)

Thanks for the bug report, I'll look into it. I haven't had much time to work on Oscar for some time now but I'm planning to return to it.

I got some new features already implemented but I just can't seem to finish/test them all and prepare a new release.

When I do there'll surely be a note here so be on the lookout. :)

Hi
I just tested OSCAR, great idea

But I encounter the following problem : for French translation (and I think it is the same problem with other languages), we haven't enough place for labels, so most of them are cutted.

new version of OSCAR is out, what about some feedback ? :)
I'm using the g2v10.1 (English), and I really like your clean interface but I would like to offer a few suggestions:

1-Add function for adding more databases to search, besides OpenSubtitles.org - Like PODNAPSIS.NET and others (if available)

2 - a means by which we can switch between databases

3 - add ability to Search by choosing only one, or to search various databases, simultaneously (multiple searches at a time)

4- Place an OSCAR forum on the front page of the OPENSUBTITLES.ORG web site. I find this thread difficult to find in a hurry! :)

Re: OSCAR G2V10.1

Sat May 15, 2010 1:57 pm

hi, guys ...


so after a "short" hiatus I've decided to once again take a closer look at what's going on here and I've reopened the Oscar project to see how it can be improved.

I will look at the latest changes in API to see what new features should be implemented to be 'up-to-date'.

If anyone has any requests as to the functionality, now is the time to ask.

I've also created a small web site dedicated to Oscar and its releases, it can be found here: http://oscar.dunres.sk/

Main areas of interest are currently (no promises though):
- support for RAR files (a prototype is already working quite fine)
- attempts to create ports for Delphi 2010 (failed in the first try :( ) and FreePascal
- new API functions implementation
- I'll consider any user-requested features

All the best to you all ...

hi all,


everyone having problems when searching for subtitles in Oscar (exact error message in log is: "Search: failed with error SearchSubtitles: exception Item is not a array type"), please, download the latest beta (g2v12) version from my web site: http://oscar.dunres.sk/ ...

the remote server implementation has changed slightly recently which broke the application.

it should be working fine now again.

thanks to Bob for letting me know about this problem.
