OpenSubtitles VIP Membership benefits
This article clearly depicts how an OpenSubtitles VIP member differs from a non-VIP member. There is a lot of advantage being a VIP member and you can visibly see a lot of difference being one.
Web
Subtle Subtitle Downloader
This article is about the Subtle Subtitle Downloader. It is a very simple Windows application for downloading the subtitles for your favourite movies.
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.
VSO Downloader – 25% special discount
VSO Downloader is a software for downloading video and audio streaming from thousands of sites including YouTube, Dailymotion, Metacafe and many more. Video downloader subtitles for videos are also downloadable.
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.
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 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.
XMLRPC: DetectLanguage(), view vote
We know XMLRPC API is very important for developers, so we added DetectLanguage()Â method. As name suggest – it detect language of given text – which should be gzipped – good when we want to automate uploading subtitles.
Upload subtitles using Java applet
Upload subtitles using Java applet is really useful, because it works better, than “normal” web upload. It works like Subdownloader or well known Oscar – it sends movie hash and movie filesize information, so other people can download those subtitles without using website.
