Download and process subtitle files in batch
Project description
About
This script is intended to be a one-stop-shop for batch preparing freshly downloaded video files for use with subtitles.
The tool can be used from the command-line but is ideal for use via GUI file managers (i.e. Thunar Custom Actions). With a single click of several video files: prompt to rename files, download the best subtitle file available (displaying a popup notification upon failure), then open a terminal window to scan and remove advertising (via subnuker).
Installation
pip3 install --user subsystem
The subsystem
package is known to be compatible with Python 3.
Requirements
yad or zenity is required if you’d like to make use of the GUI renamer.
yad is highly recommended and is available via sources (at its homepage) or via PPA (Launchpad):
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:webupd8team/y-ppa-manager sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install yad
zenity is not particularly recommended but is available for download via:
sudo apt-get install zenity
In order to make use of subsystem, you need have external downloaders installed. I recommend the Python 3 compatible download tool ss
. In my limited experience is has been the fastest and most reliable tool available.
pip3 install --user ss
subsystem is also interoperable with the Python 2 compatible downloaders periscope
and subscope
pip2 install --user periscope
pip2 install --user subscope
Usage
From the command line, run subsystem --help
to display options and downloaders available. Subsystem will use ss
by default if possible, but will use whatever is available.
To download subtitles for files:
subsystem FILES
To use an alternate downloader:
subsystem -d DOWNLOADER FILES
To rename video files then scan upon download completion:
subsystem --rename --scan FILES
To silence popup notications upon failure:
subsystem --quiet FILES
