Simple script for saving difference of two subtitle timings. You can than easily convert subtitle from one timing to another.
Project description
srt-timer simply converts subtitles from one timing to another one.
Usage example
You downloaded Fear the Walking Dead, episode 03x06, version 720p.WEB-DL-RARBG and you want to have an Italian subtitles. However Italian subtitles are just for the version REPACK.SVA…
Now you can simply use srt-timer for convert the subtitles to the wanted version. First, you have to download English subtitles in both REPACK.SVA and 720p.WEB-DL-RARBG and then you can create repack2webdl.sdiff file with conversion information:
$ srt_timer.py make_sdiff --strip-original 11 \
> "Fear the Walking Dead - 03x06 - Red Dirt.REPACK.SVA.English.C.orig.Addic7ed.com.srt" \
> "Fear the Walking Dead - 03x06 - Red Dirt.WEB-DL RARBG.English.C.orig.Addic7ed.com.srt" \
> --output repack2webdl.sdiff
strip-original argument removes the preview subtitles that shouldn’t be in the final version.
Now you convert your Italian subtitles to 720p.WEB-DL-RARBG version with the created sdiff file:
$ srt_timer.py convert --sdiff repack2webdl.sdiff \
> "Fear the Walking Dead - 03x06 - Red Dirt.REPACK.SVA.Italian.C.orig.Addic7ed.com.srt" \
> --output italian_webdl.srt
And you’re done.

Usage manual
For help just type srt_timer.py --help or srt_timer.py [command] --help
convert
Convert srt file from one timing to another one.
You can use it with a sdiff file like in the usage example or you can convert subtitles directly by providing original-timing and new-timing arguments instead of sdiff argument. In the second case you can also provide the strip-original argument to strip surplus subtitles on the beginning of a file.
The result is printed to the standard output by default. If you define the output argument, then it’s printed to a specified file.
make_sdiff
Creates a sdiff file.
It has two required arguments: srt file with original timing and srt file with wanted timing. Optional arguments are strip-original and output.
The strip-original argument should be number of the last subtitle in the “You’ve seen previously…” section if it isn’t desired in a new subtitle version. If defined, it will trim all subtitles starting before or at the time of the provided subtitle.
Same as for the convert command, the result is printed to the standard output if you don’t define an output argument.
