Open Subtitles FlixTools
Okay, this time it’s about our own software for Mac OS X – the Open Subtitles FlixTools. FlixTools provides an easy way to download the subtitles for the movies that you want to watch, in just few seconds.
Search trends subtitles – Bookworm
Here is an interesting website that lets you search for trends in the dialogue of about 87,000 movies and TV shows- the Bookworm website. It helps you to search trends using subtitles from the Opensubtitles database.

DuckieTV for TV show addicts with subtitles support
DuckieTV is a software neatly personalized for TV show addicts. It has a calendar that tracks the shows that you like and is always up-to-date.
How to use Drag and Drop search
One of the new neat feature is getting exact subtitles for your movies without installing any program. Just take your movie file and drag & drop it into green search bar on www.opensubtitles.org
Host for API definitely changed
We decided to definitely change the host for API requests (XML-RPC) to api.opensubtitles.org. This change is done because we need to put API requests on different servers in easy way.
Servers upgraded
Now database server is running FreeBSD 8.0, after installing it didn’t boot, so it takes couple of hours to fix this issue. Hopefully there won’t be anymore downtime like this.
XML-RPC URL changed
We are changing main URL for XML-RPC server to http://api.opensubtitles.org/xml-rpc, but don’t worry, old URL will work until end of 2009.
OS exclusive: Get Scrubbu for free!
Scrubbu is the easy way to search for downloads on the internet. Instead of searching webpages one by one, Scrubbu automatically scans the internet for downloads you want, and reports back with a list of one-click downloads.
OS is going to freeze features
I’d like to finish some “small” things on OS website development and XML-RPC, so development will be in feature freeze. If you have some features, which you really like to see, write them to comments.
Merry XMAS with year stats
Opensubtitles.org is now hosted on 4 servers (1 db server, 3 webservers). We changed also handling of sessions to separate memcached daemon.
Free VIP membership for first 20 users
We thought it should be nice to have some extra value for users, who make content. So if you uploaded more than 100 subtitles you get site without any advertisement and so on.
Support for movies not in IMDB
Now you can add your own movie/video to database and then upload subtitles to it – please don’t add movies which are already in IMDB.
OpenSubtitles.org is back!
It seems google adsense doesn’t like pages like these, so they completely disabled ads for opensubtitles.org and opensubtitles.com too. So only right and real domain is opensubtitles.org.
