I seem to be getting this warning on a lot of separate video files, and the affected subtitle items usually aren't OCR'd correctly at the bottom or sometimes at the right of the image, as if a portion of the image was cut off.

I used --keep-temp-files to check the images, and they're indeed not being displayed correctly:

Playing the video with subtitles on a player like VLC seems to display the subtitles correctly without issues though.

Hello, thanks for creating this package!

A feature I'm missing is the ability to blacklist certain characters (seeing as tesseract keeps catching I as |). Scouring through the code, I could not find any options for this. Having the ability to pass a string of disallowed characters would be nice.

Similarly, whitelist supports would also be welcome for similar reasons. However if only one or the other can be supported, I think it's best to support blacklists instead (or to at least prioritise it if both are passed).

If there's currently no development time being put into this for a little while, I can also try to create a PR if you'd like me to.

Thanks again!

Your program works exceptionally well, so I hope to be able to use it with VobSubs as well.

A flag could perhaps include VobSubs too and convert them to PGS with something like TheGreatMcPain/BDSup2SubPlusPlus.

Perhaps plain VobSub text recognition with Tesseract is not good enough and needs additional post-processing.

I'll try to automate the whole thing with your API and hope the results are reasonably okay.

Hey,
Is there any intention (or current ability) to use pgsrip inline in a python script?

I have a script that pulls and extracts out sup files from an MKV ingest, but now want to convert said sup file to srt which it appears this can do.

Let me know :)

No matter what I set max workers to, more than 4 threads are not used by the tesseract process.
In the help dialog, however, it says that 1 to 50 threads should be supported.

Hello, here's my problem, I noticed that with some of my subtitle files, pgsrip (latest version) returned this error:

Hi,

I have a mkv file with 2 PGS tracks (eng & fre). When trying to convert the subtitles I have the following error (for both tracks)

Error while tyring to rip <mkv / or sup file>: [invalid literal for int() with base 10: '95.936287']

Hi!

Really excited to see this tool - fits amazingly as a tdarr plugin too!

I noticed while parsing my first English PGS (1h15min) that it detected 530 strings, whereas SubtitleEdit + Tesseract 5.3.0 detected 783 strings (and had great accuracy on them). I felt a bit surprised considering that both use Tesseract 5 and the performance should theoretically be really good regardless of the dataset given it's just working with bare English, black on white, straight. I noted that when subtitles are missed, the previous subtitles would stick around for a long time.

Do you have any ideas from your experience?

On a Debian machine with "python -V" and "python3 -V" both reporting Python 3.9.2, the command "pip install pgsrip" produces the error "bash: cd: too many arguments." I can install with "sudo pip install pgsrip," although this produces warnings that running pip as root user can result in broken permissions. After thus installing pgsrip, the command "pgsrip file.mks" gives the error:

File "/usr/local/bin/pgsrip", line 5, in
from pgsrip.cli import pgsrip
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pgsrip.cli'

The command "sudo pgsrip file.mks" does work, although it is necessary to run chown on the output file, and this isn't really what one would prefer.

Is there a simple way to install pgsrip from source with Python 3.9.2?

I getting this error for episodes I've ripped from a few particular series. In most cases I've had no problem, but these appear to be getting something unexpected - maybe there is an edge case which needs handled? I'll see whether I can use MKVToolNix to rip the subtitle tracks.

Thank you for a great tool!

It is common to find videos that contain multiple subtitles for the same language (for instance, SDH and non-SDH subtitles).

In order to make this flexible, it would be useful to have something that could apply a regex pattern on the track_name property, which is being extracted from mkv tracks.

Thanks for the great work on this. I was wondering what version of Tesseract this uses?

Reason is I tested pgsrip via CLI against SubtitleEdit which uses Tesseract 5.2, and the latter seems to be more accurate with fewer errors, but I suppose that could also just be due to the config of tesseract in pgsrip.

Appreciate the help. Thanks.
