Amet Wrote:Disable it under addon setting

Hello Amet, thanks for the support
I've make more test and this is the behaviour of the addon:

- If the video file is in the library and select it from the library, whe you let the subs addon search for a subs it make it well, the searching string is the name of the file

-If the video file is in a smb:// path and select it from the "file view" of the videos section, the subs addon take it's parent folder name as searching string.

No matter if the "search using parent folder" option is selected or not, it is using the parents folder name.
This behaviour is not the same as in the old 2.1.8 version i also have installed in the HD.

I think that the addon, in the case that the file is reproduced through a path and not the library should search using the "file name", and use the parents as a option.
Maybe the xbmc is sending the incorrect filename to the addon?
Thanks for the great job, I think this addon is the one that have changed my "media" life Smile

I'm not able to download it through XBMC... the Download progress stays at 0%

I'm using version 10.0 on windows. Is there anywhere else I can get it from?

I was able to download some other add-ons, by the way...

xbmc.log(debug) would show why you are having issues. alternatively you can grab .zip here and install it manually using "install via zip" option.

I have said it many times, this addon will work best with library option turned on, that is the only way that XBMC will know the real name of the file.

I will have a look why it has regressed in since 2.1.8 version but I am not promissing much Smile

Hi!

I would like to ask if the Add-On "knows" which release I use...? For example Web-DL, HDTV (Graup XYZ),...

Thanks!

Sometimes.
Some of the services can determine which search result "should" match your downloaded release. This is indicated with a "sync" tag in the search result.

If your favorite service does not support it and if you leave the downloaded file names intact, and enable "Display file name in results page" in the advanced options, then you can decide for yourself which of the search results best matches your release.

I normally use the library, but sometimes I watch series very fast, so I don't have time to organice them and to move to my library Hard disk (I download in one temporally disk and in theory move then to a another disk with the library...)
In this case I have to watch the file directly Smile

Another difference is that in my old installation (the 2.1.8) the disk are mounted using cifs, and in the new are mounted using smb://

However, don't worry, I'll add the files to the library and if that works, I have the problem resolve for now.
Thank you!!


XBMC Subtitle add-on Launcher in OSD is disabled - Listener - 2011-01-15 00:32

Hi,

Using Dharma 10.0 with skin Confluence

A weeks ago I successfully installed from the official repository XBMC Subtitle addon. It worked correctly.
Today I noticed, that the starter circle icon of this addin in the OSD top line is disabled.

Tried to:
1) exit/start xbmc
2) enable/disable XMBC Subtitle add-on
3) uninstall/install XMBC Subtitle add-on

Nothing worked, the OSD icon for starting add-on is still diabled.

Any ideas?

thx for answers

Hi queeup,

That was fast, and helped :-) thx.
Also I had to set the path to subtitle add-on setting.
I as figured out, yesterday I played around the skins, and changed to Alaska, and once changed back, the subtitle add-on skin settings was gone :-(

Anyway you solved the problem.

thx, again.
