I did look at this other thread, but it didn't seem as alive as this one, but thanks, I'll be posting it there.

Line 1814 et seq, the directory it is trying to download to either doesn't exist or you don't have permission to download to (or create a subdirectory in) - or at least that is my interpretation.

As you can no doubt see, it is trying to save the subtitle file to /Volumes/Untitled/Subtitles/
Is there such a directory?
Can the user running xbmc create a file in that directory?

Hi all,
I have a question around how people handle the following - by definition in order to properly scrape movies / tv shows we need to rename files / folders to match generic names (in my case I use a filebot script to do this).
However by very construct the primary signifier of the release type / group is contained within the suffix of the original filename.
When I use one of the subtitle services it just shows on the top of the screen the filename on my NAS and then the various options of subtitles. Clearly if the file has already been renamed as is supposedly required then this set up is far from helpful / intuitive.
So my question is if there are other solutions/tricks around this? For instance wouldn't it be helpful to have a separate file from the video itself that specifies the release type / group name only and then the subtitle service could show this (and even attempt to auto-match first)? Ideally of course all movie files would contain in their header this information directly along with IMDB/TMDB id tag etc!
Thanks for any insight...

filebot can leave the release group name in, and that shouldn't affect scraping.

I have two issues with the current subtitle setup.
1) The "Local Subtitle Available" message is ALWAYS displayed. How can I get it to go away unless I really have a local subtitle?
2) There is no indication at all that something is happening - click on a subtitle provider - nothing happens. Wait, wait, wait - some subtitles pop up, you go to make a selection - suddenly the list changes under you. You make a selection, again there's no response at all until the download completes. This lack of user feedback makes for a very user-unfriendly experience, especially if something is not working because with zero user feedback you just end up waiting and waiting because you don't know if anything is happening or not.
