Search by movie file name

[guidupuy]

Howdy all,

I've looked around on the forum and am still not 100% sure about this: is it possible to search for subtitles by movie file name?

A simple search with the following text query:"Friends.S01E01.The.One.Where.Monica.Gets.A.Roommate.720p.HDTV.x264-TvR.mkv" yields no results, whatever the language. Is that normal?

Thanks in advance for your reply! Cheers,

G.

searching by moviename is enabled, but it falls there, only if no results are found. If you want to be straict on filenames (releasenames and so on), put your query in "tag" parameter like in example

Oops, forgot to mention: I'm talking about the API. Unless I'm mistaken, searching by tag is disabled in the API. Do you confirm that? Is there a way around this?

[oss]

yeah, it was disabled, now it is enabled, tested and working. Also trac is updated (deleted note about performance). Enjoy.

[guidupuy]

Excellent! Very eager to test it, I think our users will be thrilled

Hey oss just making sure, are you 100% certain that everything is working correctly? I am still getting nothing even with a tag search...

[guidupuy]

Just to be more precise: I did a search with tag "Friends.S01E01.The.One.Where.Monica.Gets.A.Roommate.720p.HDTV.x264-TvR.mkv", and got no results.
Plenty of results at http://www.opensubtitles.org/en/search/ ... uageid-all though... Is that normal?

hm, it works here OK:
XML-RPC request:
array('tag' => 'friends.s01e01.the.one.where.monica.gets.a.roommate.720p.hdtv.x264-tvr.mkv')

and getting 13 results back, same as on webpage.

[guidupuy]

Hum. Weird. I'll investigate this and let you know.

[guidupuy]

Ok, found it: I didn't convert the string to lower case before sending the request. Working great now!

[oss]

nope! actually you found bug, because of course, there should be conversion made on server side! Fixed.

Hey,

I've been trying to search by "tag" using the XMLRPC API with no luck.

When searching for example for

Code: Select all

http://www.opensubtitles.org/en/search/sublanguageid-all/tag-crossing+lines+(2014)+s02e10+1080p+hdtv+nl+subs+sam+tbs.mkv

I get results, but when trying that with the XMLRPC API I always get 0 results, no matter what I try.

I also tried it using your XMLRPC debugger, with the following payload:

Code: Select all

<param> <value><string>xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx</string></value> </param> <param> <value> <array> <data> <value> <struct> <member> <name>tag</name> <value><string>Crossing Lines (2014) S02E10 1080p HDTV NL Subs SAM TBS.mkv</string> </value> </member> <member> <name>sublanguageid</name> <value><string>eng,pob,spa</string></value> </member> </struct> </value> </data> </array> </value> </param>

With and without sublanguageid. What am I doing wrong here?


Thank you!

[oss]

you are not doing anything wrong there, it was bug at our side. Please check now, always include extension with file "movie.mkv" is ok "movie" is not ok.

you can add there imdbid if you know it

please report (try with different tags) if you have been successful.

Thanks for your answer.

Getting 503 on the test query. What's going on?
