[RELEASE] Sublight ("video") plugin - Download subtitles from Sublight website

Very cool Dan Dare. I'm going to check it out when I have time.

You're welcome, Sora, but it's very likely it will lock-up for you as well.

Just tried it on Xbox and Windows and it locks most of the time when it plays the video to get the total time...

I'm afraid we'll need to wait for macofaco's enhancement - until then I'll try to replicate it an maybe file a bug report or something...

Hmmm, seems to only lock when the Player() object is called from the imported sublight_utils.py, if I move that directly in the sublight_search.py script, it almost doens't lock up at all...

I already managed to implement method GetFullVideoHash. It receives session and partial video hash (MD5 hash, it must be 32 characters long, more details http://www.subtitles-on.net/?id=6).

Method returns true on success, otherwise false (parameter GetFullVideoHashResult). Method also returns full hash which you can use in Search method (parameter bestMatchVideoHash). If method fails you also receive error description (parameter error).

Note: if there is no hash yet in database method returns true and bestMatchVideoHash is empty! False is returned only on errors!

Method "GetFullVideoHash" details: http://www.subtitles-on.net/SublightUtil...lVideoHash
WSDL: http://www.subtitles-on.net/SublightUtility.asmx?WSDL

If you have additional questions please ask.

Thanks macofaco! pretty detailed, and quick I must say :-)

Shouldn't though the MD5 only be 16 chars long?!

MD5 hash is 16 bytes long but because it is binary I convert it to hexadecimal string (every byte is converted to two hexadecimal characters).

For example:

Byte 0Xd5 is converted to string "d5" (two bytes), 0xff is converted to string "ff", and so on. This is also demonstrated in http://www.subtitles-on.net/?id=6 where you can see that 16 byte MD5 hash is represented as "18d5d8c1747b005aaa2800a18e81de97" (32 human readable characters).

Thanks macofaco, works much better now!

@all
Just uploaded version 1.1, please let me know how does it work for you.

I just have it a try with a bunch of well know movies and it always gets zero results. Any idea?

I get a "Scripts Error" with every try. If I have some time I'll enable error logging and post the result.

Ver. 1.1 also crash and restart XBMC all the time on Linux
