Hello,

If I upload a subtitle that is already in the database, by passing only an imdb id (no moviebytesize or hash), the API response status is 200 and it sends the link to that subtitle, as if I uploaded it myself.

I would expect it to send back "alreadyindb = 1" but in this case, it doesn't.

Subtitle I tried to upload: http://www.opensubtitles.org/pt/subtitl ... ite-son-pt

to repeat the steps:
1. you went to some URL, and download that subtitles
2. you upload it using API without moviehash and moviesize and it will send NEW URL, or OLD (1) ?

it sends old url, but without saying it was already uploaded, it behaves like if it was a successful new upload

if possible, write me here expected result. I didnt want to allow upload without moviehash, but well...

I would have expected something like:

Code: Select all

{
data: 'http://opensubtitles.org/download/v/src/blah',
alreadyindb: 1
seconds: 0.122
status: '200 OK'
}

It currently doesn't return "alreadyindb", for some reason. It acts like if the subtitle was uploaded, but it wasnt.

Here's how I understand the response:
response.data = url to uploaded subtitle
response.seconds = time the server took to send response back
response.status = the request did hit the server and was well formed

It's missing response.alreadyindb = boolean to know if subtitle was already present or not.

ok, I added also in UploadSubtitles() response 'alreadyindb' - where is always 0 or 1...so now you can check.
