There’s a Python script called Periscope<\/a> that will search for subtitles for a video. It doesn’t always find them, however the web page lists the URLs for the subtitle providers. If Periscope fails, you can go to the sites directly and find the subtitles.<\/p>\n

Note subtitles (.srt files) will be found by XMBC and displayed (if toggled on in XBMC) if they have the same name as the video file. However, if you are playing the file through a uPnP source, it won’t work. So mount the NAS’s video directory on the XBMC box instead.<\/p>\n

*edit 31Mar2012* XBMC has a plug-in that will download subtitles. \u00c2\u00a0In XBMC, select System -> Settings -> Add-Ons and search for “subtitles.” \u00c2\u00a0The plug-in is called “XBMC Subtitles.” \u00c2\u00a0Here’s how to use XBMC Subtitles<\/a>. \u00c2\u00a0One caveat with this: \u00c2\u00a0although the integration with XBMC is great, there’s no guarantee the subtitle was created from the video you have. \u00c2\u00a0For instance, if the creator of the video cut out the previous episode review, but the subtitler used a video that had it, the subtitles will be out of sync with the video by a minute or so. \u00c2\u00a0If you can’t find a subtitle that matches, you can fix the offset with SubRip File Offset<\/a>. \u00c2\u00a0Upload the .SRT file to that site, enter the offset and replace the original .SRT with the fixed file.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
