[REQUEST] Sublight Subtitles Plugin, anyone interested in developing this?

Yes consider this a bump here as well :-) Guys, this would be an AWESOME integration. I'm kind of worried about the notion of video hash-creation times on the humble xbox, but still...

Bumpelybump from we as well. A working subtitle auto-downloader/scraper would be an awesome addition.

Good news: Sublight server is even more powerful. New version has option to remove subtitle formatting on the fly (because some players render <i>...</i> instead of italic text).
Bad news: xbmc plugin developers did not yet contact me ;(

Your app is really a delight. It works very well in every aspect. Thank you very much!
I wish I could help with sub downloading integration in XBMC. I don't have the time. A script or plugin would be nice but integrating it XBMC itself would be perfect.

Nice project you got there - I see rwparris already shown his interest, but I might be as well.

Can you please post some documentation on how the videoHash is calculated, thanks.

Dan Dare, thank you.

Today I published algorithm example in C# (How to calculate Sublight video hash?).

It is really simple but if you have any questions please ask.

Regards,

Your code sample is good enough for now. I managed to write a quick sample the other day and logged in and got a token, I'll try the hashing and a few searches and let you know if any questions. Thanks again.

I must be quite bad at programming in Python, it took me almost a day to calculate the videoHash and especially the control byte :-) Still struggling with SOAPpy, hopefully we'll get there this week...

SOAPpy had me banging my head against the wall after about an hour of playing with it, so I decided to stop for a bit. Then I got accidentally my harddrive, and lost all my 'started' plugins (about 11 I think) and forgot about this one.

Thanks for picking it up

Sheesh! that's quite a bit of work lost, sorry to hear that...

Lucky me I uploaded it last night on Google Code, even if unfinished

I managed to get SOAPpy to login anonymously and get a guid token, and performed a search, it's just that I don't get any results (yet), may be because I'm not passing all required nodes or something like that, I'll try again some more - I found this online soap client where I tried a couple of runs and compare that with the debug output from SOAPpy to figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Sure thing, my pleasure.
