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

I'm going to concert tour today. I'll look at it after i come back.
Wish me luck

if you're playing, good luck :-)

I tested it and it works (Windows Vista 64 bit, fresh install of newest XBMC)

I suggest following:
-at top of list should be linked subtitles sorted by downloads DESC, following unlinked subtitles sorted by downloads DESC
-linked subtitles should be visually different from unlinked (color or text which says "unlinked" or something similar)
-Season + Episode information for TV series

Otherwise you did very good job!

Hi!

Nice work.
But the plugin is working only if you have a video locally stored on XBOX (on internal disk). If you select video from smb share then it does not work and returns error on plugin.
And it would be nice if user could select preferred language.

Language can be selected. Check http://dandar3.blogspot.com/2009/05/subl...lugin.html (second screenshot)

Sorry did not know that. Will try later.

About SMB share. It is also possible to write to the folder on SMB if you have set the permissions.

Otherwise it would be also nice if you could select the folder where should Sublight plugin save the subtitles.

Thanks for your for feedback, glad you liked it.

Trouble is to be able to display the second label (column) on the right (with downloads & cds) I had to enable the genre sorting, which obviously controls how the entry are sorted (asc or desc). I might be able to do something though, as in prefix the "linked" entries with something like "[L]" or "[Linked]" which should make them appear hmmm probably at the botom, I'll think about it. I might be able to do something with colors though for the second column.

I was also thinking to move the movie name to the top right corner (some skins like PMIII are able to display that) and display in the list the release, might be more useful, we'll see how it goes.

I don't have any seasons / episodes, but what I could do is get the information and display it in the Movie Info panel (on an entry press "i" key). If you have an example I might change a version so you can try it.

Thanks again for your help!

I don't know about the SMBs I thought if XBMC is able to browse for the file it will return the URL and I can use that to read the file - I might check it sometime, I don't share files over the network.

For the subtitle location, I was thinking to add a propery (btw, see the Plugin Settings, that's where you can select the prefered languages) where to save the subtitles with 3 options - movie dir, ask (you are presented with a dialog to navigate to the save location) or the XBMC subtitle custom directory (http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=Videos_Settings#Subtitles), sometime soon, I don't know when...

This crashes xbmc whenever I select a video file unfortunately (linux)

@slight
Using version 1.1? Xbmc version? Linux flavour/version? please report the issue at http://dandar3-xbmc-addons.googlecode.com/ so I can keep of them.

Someone reported that same before I might have to install a Linux and try it on I guess...
