Download subtitles for a whole series / folder

Arto65 · 2011-05-28 21:15

Two ideas to speed up the process of downloading subs.

1) Would it be possible to launch the XBMC subtitles script from the video list ? This way, the process could be faster.

2) It's maybe simple for many users, but I struggled to add a shortcut to open the script with just one key (h in my case), so I'm posting it for users who might be interested.
In the keymap.xml file, write this:

Code:

<keymap>

<FullscreenVideo>

<keyboard>

<h>Runscript(script.xbmc.subtitles)</h>

</keyboard>

</FullscreenVideo>

</keymap>

@Redsandro This is not the perfect solution, but it will save you a couple of clicks when you download subtitles!

Also, a great missing shortcut to adjust subtitle offset with the letter "Q":

Code:

<q>subtitledelay</q>

Sounds nice.

Do you know how to know the names of media keys? I have a remote control for XBMC, only media keys, but it is detected as a keyboard.

I think you can use 'showkey' application (you'll have to search here or google for it). If not then I believe you can use debug mode to find out what is being pressed. Thats as far as my memory goes.
