findsub 0.0.4

Finding and ranking subtitles from subscene by how much they are synced.

FindSub

FindSub is an Application for automatically downloading and ranking subtitles based on how much they are synced from subscene. Compatible With Unix Systems.

Installation

Recommended way is by using pipx. First, install pipx:

sudo apt install pipx

Then install FindSub by using the command below:

pipx install --python python3.9 findsub

P.S.: FindSub is supported by python3.9+. Also, GCC is required for compiling C extensions. FFmpeg and FFprobe are also needed for extracting of movie's audio.

Basic Usage and explanation. (Must read!)

findsub The.French.Dispatch.2021.1080p.WEB-DL.x264.6CH-Pahe.FilmBan.mkv

→ First, findsub try to guess the name of the movie based on the filename and with the help of IMDB. Simultaneously it will extract the movie's audio by using "FFmpeg" and "FFprobe". If a cached extracted audio is present in the same directory, findsub will skip this stage and use it instead. At the same time, findsub tries to download the subtitles from subscene in the desired language. You can use -l/--language to select a language (ISO 639-1). if nothing is specified with this option, findsub will try to use "FINDSUB_LANG" environment variable and if nothing is set, it will use "En" as default. Sometimes, especially when the original movie name is not in English, findsub cannot find the paired subscene page, and you should manually set the subscene link of the page with the help of -s/--subscene option.

Advance Usage

findsub The.French.Dispatch.2021.1080p.WEB-DL.x264.6CH-Pahe.FilmBan.mkv --audio ./already_extraced_audio.wav

OR

findsub The.French.Dispatch.2021.1080p.WEB-DL.x264.6CH-Pahe.FilmBan.mkv --synced-subtitle ./synced_sub.srt

findsub The.French.Dispatch.2021.1080p.WEB-DL.x264.6CH-Pahe.FilmBan.mkv --subtitles-directory downloaded_sub/

→ Skip downloading subtitles and rank the subtitles within the mentioned directory.
