OpenSubtitles forum

Thank you very much for this HowTo :
I had tu use the Python 2.5 for it to work, but it's ok now.

Just a question : could you provide an updated 'installer.nsi' file for the 'subdownloader-2.0.9.3.tar.gz' source... or just explain how to adapt it to create a new installer.

Hi,
Where did you find this 2.0.9.3 version?
I do not know what exactly this version has as changes, but it should not differ much in it's file/folders/tree structure so the only thing that probably needs a change in the .msi is the version number: should be changed to: If any files are changed (added or removed), you can add/remove them from the following the pattern there.

BTW do not forget that the setup.py file will need the same changes as the described above (the version and the files changes).

You've got to be pretty miffed at the SubDownloader license to consider this tutorial a useable solution

I went a different route. I create my own subtitle downloading program connecting to the xmlrpc APIs.

Hehe well you are right...
I hate when people use Open Source as a cover for profit... And if I had enough time I would have written my own routines for downloading subtitles... but actually what is the use in writing one more sub application when the efforts could be pointed to something much more useful like fixing bugs in an already existing sub application, adding additional features to it etc.

The problem with all Open Source applications is that at some point the team developing the application starts to disagree on different topics and they split as everyone starts a new clone of the application... That is a waste of time and energy in my personal opinion, and that is the reason why KDE4 for example is a total wreck (i can use the word crap even) - very nice look with an empty content... As one of my friends says... "I want when I install a music player, it to play the music, not to be just damned pretty"....

Dears,

Please find attached the new run.py for release 2.0.9.3

setup.py
installer.nsi

One file has changed name in the new release... is-it on purpose ?
Anyway, the rest works perfectly.

OpenSubdownloader is a project that branched from Subdownloader and it provides free Windows binaries. Enjoy!

Thanks @saxicek,
I appreciate this ...
And I hope all of the Windows users of SubDownloader do appreciate it too
Probably it will be a good idea if you can organize a SourceForge project too

thanx for the tutorial..I followed the steps until 8 which I didn't know how to do..downloaded NSIS but Windows XP command prompt didn't recognize the code cd before the path so I was stuck and stopped..more help and explanation please..I'm new at this !!!

Probably you did not copy/paste the exact code for that at step 10. BTW step 9 includes the install of NSIS, and you do that the way you install any program in WinXP by clicking the executable and following the wizard.
Anyway I recommend you use the ready version that @saxicek is providing at https://launchpad.net/opensubdownloader/+download/
(read 2 posts above yours)

guys isnt there any easier way to make subdownloader work without all this process? as i am not an expert i find it a little difficult to do it? isnt there anything like a crack or sth?
thanks

I do not see any wise reason that someone should waste his time preparing a crack or a serial keygen for this buggy application.... And as far as I remember the code (i haven't used the app for more than a year now), they use some kind of an online verification (I do not really get why people waste their time and abilities to code protection routines at all, 'cause even big corporations applications' protection has anti-measures against that)... Anyway probably there is a crack/keygen somewhere in the Net... but actually the easiest way to use the free version is just to download it from @saxicek's launchpad account.
Besides on Windows there are already quite a lot of free applications that offer subtitles download and not only from this site... like the mplayer that goes bundled with the KCodecs, the SMplayer etc.

This version is too old...

I recommend users to stick to the @saxicek's launchpad account download.

Is it just me or OpenSubDownloader just keeps Not Responding and never really opens the interface window?
