Hello all.
It appears from my researching that looking up subtitles for a *file* is easy, however looking up subtitles for a specific DVD disc...is that possible/easy?
If not could a make a humble feature request that subtitles somehow be optionally bound to a disc id, as well, somehow.
It would help projects like mine and splayer, which attempt to download DVD subtitles from opensubtitles by name only currently.
A couple options for the unique id:
1) [my preferred way would be] use the same one themoviedb.org uses: http://api.themoviedb.org/2.1/ids-hashes (basically an open source equivalent of Windows' IDvdInfo2::GetDiscID() method).
2) hash of the first 10 ifo files [ http://forums.thetvdb.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=1726 ]

Thoughts?
Thanks!

Re: How to lookup subtitles for just a DVD disc
hi,
the best would be implemented tmdb ID disc, so you know imdbid, and using this you can search OS database. Thats the best what is available for now.

Re: How to lookup subtitles for just a DVD disc
That's a good point--if you can go from file hash -> TMDB hash then you could lookup IMDB from that. Nice.

Re: How to lookup subtitles for just a DVD disc
Noticed that the OpenSubtitles player has trouble downloading subtitles for DVD's--this might help it in this regard...
