• [X ] I have searched the issues of this repository and believe that this is not a duplicate.

Expected Behavior

When I drag a folder into Caption it should find the same results as it does when I do manual searches. Manual searches for missing subtitles find more results than dragging in a folder.

Current Behavior

If I drag a TV show folder into Caption, it will find subtitles for some episodes but not others. If I then copy the filename of the MKV it cannot find and do a manual search in Caption, it will find several results.

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

1. Drag TV folder into Caption. There will be subtitles found for some episodes but not others.
2. Copy the filename of an MKV file which could not be found (via dragging in a TV show folder) and paste it into Caption search.
3. Several results will be found from this manual search, but none will be found when automatically searching by dragging in a TV series/season folder.

Context

Trying to be able to get subtitles for all episodes in a season or series without having to manually do searches for each episode then manually renaming.

Your Environment

Either the auto-rename is not available or I didn't find how to configure it, but I was hopping to use it.

That would be super cool to have configurable file/subtitle renaming.

When using drag-n-drop to find subtitles, sometimes there are no results:

I'm assuming that Caption is using the hash of the video to find them, in this case. However, if I do type the name of the file, I can get the results I was looking for, between less relevant stuff:

So I guess in the first case it would be useful to either directly search for filename (removing the extension, of course, but in general replacing dashes or dots with spaces could help I guess), or at least show somewhere a prompt/hint for the user that once clicked does that.

Would you consider making tracking in this software to be opt-in? It's understandable that you may need this for development purposes but since it invades user privacy it would make sense to only expose volunteers who are aware of this and consciously pick this option in order to help out with development this way rather than everyone.

Fix saving the selected language as default. Every time the app opens, it changes back to English.

Can you guys please create a .rpm package for non-Debian Linux systems?

Would you like to create a separate node module for this ? This seems great and I would love to use this in https://github.com/ritz078/snape . Let me know if you need any help.

Windows 10 Pro latest, with Norwegian language.

Caption v2.0.0 and v2.0.1 have totally blank windows. I just see a windows regular window-titlebar but no content inside the window. It's pure white.

When I ran 2.0.0 it opened a secondary "auto updating" window which was blank too. So some code seems to be running, but all rendering is dead (white).

Has anyone got success on Windows?

This is very frustrating and I've tried multiple reinstalls to see if the issue would go away. Please make it so that caption doesn't automatically default for every single video file format.

Your Environment

Caption is great but I keep my apps organized in folders inside /Applications, and everytime Caption starts it asks me if I want to move it.

I see the practical value of this question when it is launched from the DMG, but once I have answered I think the program should stop bothering me...

Right now, if you add a directory to Caption, it'll show all the files in the directory.

Shouldn't we have a whitelist?

Hi,

First, thanks for this excellent software! It is very well crafted.

Have you considered adding multiple providers such as subliminal?

• I have searched the issues of this repository and believe that this is not a duplicate.

First off, I want to say I love the app, so thank you for the great work!

Expected Behavior

I expect Caption not to show notifications/popups when in the background and my attention is not needed.

Current Behavior

Currently when Caption is opened in the background (i.e. I'm using another app in the foreground), and my network has issues, the Caption icon in the dock bounces and when I click on it I see the following error message in a popup:

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open Caption, with internet on
2. Use another app (e.g. Google Chrome)
3. Turn off internet. This will trigger the bounce and error message.

Context

I think it is obtrusive because my attention is not needed and there is no action to be done on my part.
I was not in the process of searching for subtitles so the information is irrelevant to me at that moment (coming from Caption).

I suggest only showing such error message when I'm actively searching for subtitles. Alternatively, have the message show as an information message without notification, e.g. perhaps at the bottom of the main Caption window.

Your Environment

Love this app!

Just a suggestion, it would be cool to add "language order" (or "language preferences"). What I mean is having a list of languages for which the subtitles search would run until it finds the match.

I'd like to contribute. :)

Please add references, that your app is using opensubtitles. We rely on this. Please read:

http://trac.opensubtitles.org/projects/opensubtitles/wiki/DevReadFirst#Implementingopensubtitles.orgsupport

First I'd like to thank you for this fine piece of software.

I'd like the possibility to monitor a folder and download subtitles every X hours.
I'd like the possibility to set a specific folder to store the subtitles. Obviously if there are matching subs in this folder the file is skipped.

Please let me know what you think of this ideas.

• I have searched the issues of this repository and believe that this is not a duplicate.

Expected Behavior

The search should be fast enough & sometimes should actually download rather than returning nothing.

Current Behavior

Its slow sometimes & doesn't download anything for some files.

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

Download The.Walking.Dead.S08E04.HDTV.x264-SVA[eztv].mkv from any site. I did it from 1337x & use Caption its slow in search & also

Context

As the title says sometimes its too slow even though I am on a fast internet. Now I can't tell the reason but it takes so much time that I have to Google search for subtitle. Earlier it was super fast. It might be bcz of too many users or Idk if its OpenSubtitles API or something but this problem started now only. I think since the 2.0 release it had a lot of eyes so might be lot of users.

Your Environment

I am currently working on making Caption for Windows and Linux. But because design is an important part of the end product, and I want Caption to be native in Windows and Linux as well, this will take a little time.

To reproduce it:

• Search "Vikings.S" -> appears Vikings subs with one being "Vikings.S03..."
• Search "Vikings.S03", it should appear the subs with "Vikings.S03..."

Video: https://www.useloom.com/share/ae94909fcaf04afc8fff508518c4727f

Happens on Mac, but is clear is a backend things.

Hi there!

I just noticed that Caption no longer downloads the .srt files. Search works fine but as soon as you select the download folder and click the download button, nothing happens. I tried different Macs and different .srt's. I am using Mac OS Catalina 10.15.7.

Just wanted to say thanks! I was searching for an alternative to SubtitleApp and found you ;) So glad there is an open source alternative now. Congrats to the team, the app is beautiful and works perfectly ❤️

Hi, the Turkish characters are broken. How can I fix this?

4th and 22th letters are broken.

It worked for a few days, and now will raise nothing, either from the entry search or the drag and drop. Both SuperConverter and Subtitle Master find subs for files while Caption, apparently searches for, but never delivers. I've re-installed, trashed prefs, with no avail.

• [X ] I have searched the issues of this repository and believe that this is not a duplicate.

Expected Behavior

Caption should not change the default program of MKV-files.

--none, see bug above--

Current Behavior

When dragging an MKV-video file to Caption window it changes the default program to open this MKV file to Caption.

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

1. I open Caption (version 2.0.0) on my MacBook Pro, Mac OSX 10.13.2 and leave it the active program.
2. I drag an MKV-file from a already open Finder window to the Caption window.
3. Caption does it thing great, it finds subtitles in Dutch.
4. I close the Caption program by CMD-Q.
5. I double click on a random MKV-file and Caption opens to start searching for subtitles (I expected VLC to open the video file)

Context

I have to change the default program back to VLC by right-click and choose 'Open with..' and select the 'Always open this program' selection.

Your Environment

I get a warning about the certificate of download.getcaption.co being expired since the 11th of April when trying to download Caption from getcaption.io

Is there any plan for a CLI client?

Expected Behavior

I expect "caption" to start searching for subtitles for the opened file and download/rename the found subtitle automatically.

Current Behavior

Open with Caption from finder opens the app with no action.

Hi,

there is no user auth to opensubtitles. It is needed, because:
#VIP users
#some VPN and other PROXY are denied to download, if user is not authenticated

Languages to add:

• Bosnian
• Serbian
• Croatian

I'm using Macbook OS Sierra (MQLT2)
I just download Caption version 2 and when I open it is just a blank windows and I can not do anything with it.

I had record the reproduce here
http://recordit.co/0MYv0rgL5Z

I am getting at the moment 82 linter errors and a lot more warnings when i am opening
app/containers/Home.js
Maybe do we have to improve the linter configuration to make sure that those errors are valid.
For example do we want the indenting to be spaces or tabs and how many etc.

Hello,

App worked in the beginning, but not anymore, for 9 out 10 movies i try to search for then it takes less then half a second before the app instantly tells me that no subtitle could be found.

The opensubtitles API and my internet combined is in no way fast enough to search and find / not find in the timeframe it attempts to search, without measuring then I'm guessing it spends less then 200ms before it returns with a "No matches".

Attempted with some of the biggest movie names in the industry and most popular torrents, they all yield the same result. Tho, TV shows have more success then movies.

Your Environment

The MenuItems which are defined in https://github.com/gielcobben/Caption/blob/master/main.development.js#L378 seem to link to the Electron website + Github.

I tried several movies and the program never downloads the correct subtitle in Spanish, the English subtitles are correct. Sometimes it finds no subtitle at all - no problem, but when it says it found a Spanish subtitle, it is never the correct one.

Movies were for example: "Kiki, el amore se hace" or "Perdiendo el Norte", I tried with different versions of the movie files.

Caption find nothing when searching french subtiles even if there are availabe on addic7ed

(a kodi plugin works fine with addic7ed)

hi,
in Turkish language there are some letters like "ö, ş" etc. when I use the caption app for downloading subtitles these letters seems in the screen with other symbols. because it can not download or turn the subtitle in utf8 format. is there any settings about that. or can you solve this problem with an update
thanks.

Your Environment

Sorry, Wrong repo

A screenshot should be included in the readme to give an idea of what the client looks like

As mentioned in a previous bug report, I keep Caption in a subfolder on my 2nd hard drive.

Whenever I try to launch Caption using spotlight it is not detected/found, although I can launch that way all the other software in the same subfolder. I tried to do a forced rebuilding of the spotlight index, but it didn't solve the problem.
However, if the app is in the /Applications folder it works... that's puzzling.

Fixing by adding a fallback background color.

Hi,
Nice work

I think u should try to create the linux version using appimage , it will be easier to use and install.
https://appimage.org/

Also, Please add https://subscene.com/ because it is the only one on which subtitles of the latest episodes are uploaded within minutes after the release

Some more information would be useful in the "About Caption" window.
At least:

• Authors
• Download website (https://getcaption.co) or Github page (https://github.com/gielcobben/Caption)

Maybe a changelog of the version ?

People in general understand a few languages.
It'd be really useful to see at the top of the menu the languages you've search subtitles in the past.

And if there's a configuration option to see only the languages you're interested in better yet.

And if you switch between subtitles and the subtitle add the language code to the name even better.

Thanks!

This app should be submitted to http://electron.atom.io/apps/

Some people have this overflow issue where they have vertical and horizontal scrollbars.
