I uploaded the wrong srt file for one episode, now I'm stuck

Sat Nov 18, 2023 12:17 pm

So was uploading a bunch of episodes of a show. I accidentally uploaded one of the srt files to the wrong episode. I disabled that and uploaded the correct one. So far, so good.

Then I went to upload that srt file to the correct episode, and it tells me the file already exists (and takes me to the disabled file). I tried changing the srt file after re-enabling but that did not work. Is this something that can't be fixed through the web UI? Basically the wrong srt needs to be *really* deleted (or renamed) so I can upload the srt file to the correct episode and with the correct filename, but I don't see any way to do this.

Thanks

Hi

it doesnt need to be deleted, just you need edit information of uploaded subtitle, right ? So you go to uploaded subtitle details, then you click "correct subtitle" and then you edit what is needed.

There is nothing to edit. I cannot upload the srt file to the episode I want, because that srt was already uploaded to another episode (by accident). Since 'deleting' a subtitle entry only disables it, the filename is still in the database and still associated with the wrong episode. You cannot change that filename, or disassociate the file from that episode. So if you try to upload that same file to a different episode, it won't let you, it says the file was already uploaded. I really just need to be able to *delete* the original upload completely from the database, not just disable it.

Please check now, updated to align episodes with your naming nomenclature of SxxEyy and episode title. Seems to be in agreement now.

In the future, you can make corrections on subtitles that you own by following the directions in this link:

Thanks for taking care of that. I also uploaded the one missing S01 episode so it's now complete.
