After some talk with lighttpd guru at irc, we together optimized its configuration. I also removed some ugly SQL querries, some of them are cached in memcache, thumbnails should be loaded faster, sphinx is doing its job…
Now, when searching, you can select, if you want subtitles for Hearing Impaired in advanced settings. Search results and subtitle details are marked with small icon.
I decided to bring online new fulltext search engine – sphinx. After some days of work, debugging and so on, we can say – it works. I hope now website will be a little faster.
Last time, chatting with Majky, he asked, if he should see some stats about using his Oscar – I said no problem. So I created some more stats.
Everything you have to do is rename subtitle file according movie file. So if you have “movie.avi” your subtitles must be located in same directory and renamed to “movie.srt”. Now open movie in your favourite video player and enjoy!
Time to time I check trac for new tickets, and I found interesting one (actually, it was send by user and I put it in trac), where was suggestion about creating favourite subtitles for user. This means, you can mark any subtitles and add it to you favourites.
Advanced PHP/Perl programmers could write some nice scripts, which can download right subtitles from OpenSubtitles without doing anything – just running that script.
What are you going to do this Christmas and New Year?
After playing a little bit with memcache I had to implement better caching technique. Site was down for some hours, I look what happened…it was an error, which I didn’t see any time before…
I did not update donations list at main page – I will update it soon, but not of them will be visible, so here it is complete list of donors. Thank you for any donate, we appreciate that!
User Pko on forum asked me, if it is possible to create new statistics – how much subtitles downloads has user for last 6 months and for last 30 days. So now we can see, which users are really helpful to community.
We switched to new design at forum – we hope you like it. Our aim is to have basically same design on main site, forum and on blog.
We ordered and setuped next web server for OpenSubtitles.org. One webserver was not so powerfull as first one, so when you get data from this one, site was slow.
I wanted to code request area from scratch. You should ask why – I will tell you – it is simple. Request area have some really weird SQL code (some sub-querries) and it locks database, so whole sites works slower (or even did not work). So I have to disable request area of time being.
