Is really size taken into account?

[jpli]

Sometimes I am getting wrong subtitles in the case when something inside .avi differs - like unremoved commercial or something like that so the beginning and the end of the movie agrees - hash is identical but the size is different.

I am getting shifted subtitles then.

Is really size always taken into account when hash matches ?

hash can not be identical for 2 different movies (different filesize). Part of hash is filesize of file.

When you get wrong subtitles somebody upload those wrong subtitles with that hash.

OK, so where is the proper place to address problem of multiple incorrect subtitles?

Eg.

http://www.opensubtitles.org/en/subtitl ... -part-1-en

The above subtitles are not correct for Stargate SG-1 [8x16] Reckoning, Part 1.avi | 367013888 hash a4ac1e6cfb19f3b0

Yet when I search for the hash - I am getting them. The error is obvious if you compare the first line of this subtitle and the correct one:

http://www.opensubtitles.org/en/subtitl ... -part-1-en

It is not possible that identical first line starts at completely different times...

The problem happens over and over again - for example for hash 7c2a2b25fe0740f6 - 4 out of 5 subtitles are incorrect.

Is there a way to clean it up a bit ?

I am submitting corrected .srt files but a user would get 4 wrong subtitles first.

It should be possible to write a script to detect such cases.

I understand, and we are aware of this issue (wrongly linkes moviehashes to subtitles). The report is implemented here: http://trac.opensubtitles.org/projects/ ... gMovieHash

Not so much clients supports it, thats the problem.

In a way the problem is that there's a disconnect in the process where users would report subs.

A user downloads a subtitle, he sees it and sees it's wrong. He then goes and searches for a new one. There's no easy way for them to "pick up" the subtitle already downloaded and report it.

I've thought for some time how to best implement reporting and it's never easy. The best I've been able to come up with is a preview window where a user can preview and report the subs is bad. But when a user returns to get a new sub then it's complicated.
