[ubuntu] MPlayer and Subtitle misspelling

linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – Hey guys, I'm having an issue with MPlayer and subtitles on Oneiric. The issue is that when the subtitles are rendered, occasionally words are misspelled. It is always the same word. The misspelling can occur in the middle of a sentence, or at the end. The subtitle type is a smi file. An example would be: "The person wanted to continne" After looking at the subtitle file itself, the line is spelled correctly. I'm not able to locate any erroneous characters in the subtitle file itself either. This issue will happen with custom subtitle files, as well as 3rd party files. (Hardware)

I like keeping a collection of my favorite TV shows and Movies along with the subtitles. For a single playback, I won't mind fixing the subtitle from the player's settings, even though its frustrating most of the times, but while making a collection, you need perfect subtitles. Finding the correct one is not an easy task and neither is editing it.

I just bought a Kindle Fire HD and it's pretty cool to watch movies with it. However, unlike with VLC, I dont know how to open the subtitle files with the built-in movie player of the tablet. Therefore I had to add the subtitles to the videos first before transferring them to the tablet.

I'm using Kaffeine 1.0-svn3 from Packman repo on openSuse 11.2 with KDE 4.3.5.

In Kaffeine, I can not find the menu where I can choose the subtitles. (I want to watch an avi-file with a separate subtitle-file in srt format)

With openSuse 11.0, KDE 3.5.8. and an older version of Kaffeine, there was a possibility to select subtitle files (srt).

When I was using windows, I used to edit subtitles with Subtitle Workshop which is a quite good.

Does anyone can recommend about a good subtitle editor for ubuntu?

Hi there,

by using flexget I want to automatically download the subtitles to my favorite Tv Shows. The site where the subtitles are stored has an rss feed, like this:

Super Subtitles - Spartacus: Blood and Sand

Unfortunately these links don't point to the files directly, but point to a page, where the download button needs to be pressed (Column called 'Letöltés')

actually what I need

SubDownloader is a program for automatic download/upload subtitles for videofiles (DIVX,MPEG,AVI,VOB,etc) and DVD's using fast hashing. Providing a friendly interface, users have a better movie experience since searching for subtitles is no longer dull or boring. SubDownloader follows the KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid) priciple. You just want to watch a good movie, right?!

First of all, hello! As the title suggests, I'm trying to use an utility that allows me to watch an online video with subtitles. I know MPlayer can do this (creating a small window with subtitles only) and I really like a software I've used in Windows and which also works in Linux (with Mono installed), that's called Greenfish Subtitle Player.

I found a VLC script called 'Subtitle finder' (here) that downloads and displays video subtitles 'on-the-fly': they are downloaded and displayed during playback, and it works great, but does not saves subtitle file for the future: the whole procedure has to be restarted each time.
