Hello, there. This is most probably for OS.
Just wondering, here:
1.-What are the limits for the downloads? My client is able to parse full disks for missing subtitles and autocheck for automatic download.
This means that some users may drop a whole disk in the icon and by the time we realize it they've downloaded 1 thousand subtitles.
Since there are limits to how much we want to simplify things for users, I was wondering what limits are being enforced in the webserver to comply with them and not try to request more than possible.
-Is there an upper limit for querying or for XML results?
-What's the limit of subtitles a user can download? (they're not validated so I guess it's controlled by IP, not username).
2.-I just noticed I should be asking for an AGENT string for the client I created. It's name will be "SolEol". What's the process for this? Is there one already? I'm using SubDownloader's agent string at the moment.
3.-array CheckSubHash seems to return several values. "0" means "doesn't exist" but in the example I can see 1 and 3. What are the possible values and meanings?
4.-array SearchMoviesOnIMDB is great if you have the IMDB already. Could something similar be done to search by movie hash and bytesize? This would help auto-filling the imdb details for a new subtitle of an existing file. Something like "array SearchIMDBInfoFromHash"
5.-I will only detect the language in the name of the subtitle or use the user's default language to define what language the subtitle is in. I can't really check with any auto-detection routine. It would be interesting if an optional flag could be set: "LanguageUnsure" (heh) so the server can post-process it set it right (an email to the user would be nice, but not necessary).
6.-I've considered setting up a kind of mirror-facility where queries are done to my server and it in turn queries back to OS but caches files so as to not download them again. This could help you save bandwith. I have no idea if this is useful to you or I should avoid it.
7.-I know I'm repetitive but is there any plan or calendar for TV Series Support?
8.-Have you considered setting up mirrors of OS? I could offer to host one if there's a need for it.
9.-Currently users need to register in http://www.opensubtitles.com/en/newuser . Have you consideried adding the ability to register through the API? It would be nice for programs to allow that step to be completed from within the application itself.
I can explain any of this better, if you wish.
