I use Subtitles for months and it has been pretty good. I wonder what's the parameter to select the best subtitle for the release, I'd suggest that the user badge is more important than the number of downloads.
Lately I've been using Subtitles a bit less because I got a VIP subscription on OpenSubtitles, so when I download from the site I skip ads. Would be incredible to download the subtitles as VIP on Subtitles though.
dropped an avi on it and it just downloade dit. touch handler not registered?
[edit] ah: i have to click through 3 intro dialogs first.
suggestion: make that howto persistent on the page and make it work when you first land on it. Also, ask me to specify a language after dropping the file possibly
And also maybe allow for more than one language, or "Any". I have got an application error on the actual download page, so I'm not sure if that is already being offered there.
I've tried to make it really simple to use, after the first setup you should only visit the page for one use, drag and drop.
A really quick fix for trying with another language is opening the webapp in a incognito mode.
If suggest making a more informative page for mobile browsers. I understand tge mobile browsers like safari mobile don't support the tech you need, but at least tell me what your web app is.
Very nice!
I think that there is a bug - I've tried to download subtitles for a movie, with Hebrew subtitles - and I've got to "Your subtitle is downloading" but nothing happens..
Open Subtitles API, if there is no downloading maybe the subtitle does not exist there or it is a problem with the browser, I have only tested with Chrome and Firefox.
any way, I also have chrome. now when i'm trying i get this error message " Application Error
An error occurred in the application and your page could not be served. Please try again in a few moments.
If you are the application owner, check your logs for details."
I guess that it's because of the load?
Hi guys, author here, as far as I have tested it is working with Chrome and Firefox in desktop (where you can drag and drop)
It really depends on if the subtitle is in the Open Subtitles API or not, it tries to search for the best suitable subtitle there.
I've only tested with spanish and english languages but I am planning on improving the localization of the app.
Thanks for the feedback and glad some of you are finding use in it.
Please let me use it as well: Consider adding a "click here to select file" button starting a filepicker. Without a filemanager drag and drop is unuseable.
It would not only be helpful to support the 0,0…01% of people who will see this without having a file manager available, it will also help those users who pick you site as a starting point to not have to start an additional thing (like the explorer) to get to the video file.

Thanks! I was looking for subs to this one movie for really long time and you found it for me! Got a suggestion:
There are too many messages before I can download the subtitles. Perhaps dropping a file could take me straight to the language picker, and selecting the language will immediately result in download?

I've been using SolEol for months and it's pretty great.
also, where do you get the subtitles?
BTW, if any of you are looking for a desktop based app, you can also check SubiT http://subit-app.sourceforge.net/ or the source https://github.com/subit/SubiT, It should work on windows, linux and osx. We are now working on version 3

Then we can watch Hulu or Netflix in another language besides English.

But I got some problems with the encoding, which didn't accept non-latin characters. Maybe encode it with UTF8/Unicode before sending it to the user.
