Does anyone know of a tool that can handle forced subtitles for a large movie collection?
I realize this might be super specific issue, but it is literally the bane of my existence. I have a huge movie collection and on more than one occasion I've started a movie with a group of friends only to find out at some point during the movie, the characters start talking in foreign language and there are no subtitles to inform us whats being said. I know handbrake allows a search for forced subtitles track (or a cue to tell the movie to push the English track at certain points) during the encoding process and that sometimes the XBMC subtitle downloader plugin has a track for forced English subtitles but I'd really like a sickbeard type server that just scans my movie collection and downloads any forced subtitle track it can find from any number of online subtitle databases.
I've heard of something called Periscope, but I've never used it and don't know how appropriate it would be for this specific task. Anybody have any input on this?
