SMPlayer wont find subtitles anymore

[rey.abc]

The program was working perfectly until about 2 months ago, it stopped finding subtitles, could find none, zero! Then i thought the servers or something might be having some problems since i could find them going to the website (opensubtitles.org). So i decided to wait to see if it'd get corrected. Well its been 2 months now and it still doesnt work for me, i even updated the software (0.8.4 now) and the problem persist!

Notice how it says 0 subtitles are available, yet if i go throught the website they do appear... This is what i mean

SMPlayer calculates a hash from the video and then asks for subtitles to opensubtitles using the simplexml method, something like this:

http://www.opensubtitles.org/en/search/ ... /simplexml

Maybe simplexml is not working properly or it has been deprecated. I asked in the opensubtitles forum for information about the issue.

Thank you very much, i want to address that this is not only happening to me. It's happening to everyone who i told about this program (we all love it because this sweet feauture). In total its 3PC and 1Laptop, all with the same problem. Hope there is a fix!

The possibility to download subtitles is an essential feature of smplayer and so it will be fixed.

Now I'm trying to implement the XML-RPC method to get the subtitles. Unfortunately this will require a lot of changes in the code and so far it's very hard. First I had to find a XML-RPC library for Qt 4 which works. Some were very old, some didn't compile, some were unfinished, some didn't behave as expected...

After 5 hours of work I finally have a test code that can connect to opensubtitles.org and get a list of available subtitles and the download link.

Alright, it will be fixed in a future update then. Thanks for the info, i will be waiting for the update
