Leslie I typed your symptoms into this box and it says you might have network connectivity issues?

I once saw a movie where the subtitles before the movie were like "join my wow guild". Loved it
Did you join it tho?
Never played it :(

I check my srt files for that kind of thing and just remove it. But i don't download as much material as many people, perhaps.
I occasionally see those types of ads in subs downloaded through the Plex UI, but usually it's in an intro or at the end. Haven't seen them in the middle of a dialogue yet.
I think this is at the very end of LOTR 1 if I remember correctly. Like they cut off two of Sam's lines
I think they only put them in when there's a long period with no captions. Usually at the beginning or end of a video, but I've had them during a silent/dialogue free scene in the middle of a movie before.

And for our next sponsor, check out Raid Shadow of Mordor
I've had good luck lately with SubScene, I've only downloaded a few files though, so not a huge sample set

“One does not simply walk into Mordor…” Boromir turns to the camera and continues, “…unlike this video’s sponsor - nordvpn! With the code ‘flame of the west’ you can simply walk your way into an 85% discount off the price of a full years subscription! Thanks nordvpn, and now back to the council of Elrond”
OpenSubtitles is hot garbage, a viable alternative needs to exist. Pray for Subscene
Ironically, this might be an area where machine learning could be beneficial.
I've been watching a few projects that are attempting to live translate videos. We are very close
Imagine the next step though, soon AI will generate actors' voices speaking in any language you want.

How does that work for people with non US/UK accents? I ask because all of the transcription software I've seen will work absolutely fantastically on even the most garbled and redneck American accents, and the vast majority of British ones too, but as soon as you get to Scottish/Welsh/German/Australian/really anywhere elses accents, it has a complete breakdown and you can't make sense of it at all
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=h5JNnvXjmmY Looks like they actually solved it a while ago, this video shows multiple base languages. Sorry but I can't speak to specifics, but I do know my next project.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

Is addi7ed also good?
Yeah but they are focused on tv shows afaik
Is it easy to get a copy of their dataset?
there's a comment from a few months ago with a torrent, the date inside is july 2022 so will be missing anything newer: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/comment/5089994

I typically grab the better quality rips and they almost always come with subtitles. Three hats ones are older or more obscure movies/shows that don't have many options to choose from.
I've seen stuff like that in subtitles during the opening or ending credits a few times. Never when the movie was still playing tho...
It's likely they got a set for the wrong version. Like this is the extended film but they got subs for the non-extended version.
The exact moment OpenSubtitles becomes ClosedCaption
They are transitioning to their .com domain, whose only bonus, other than the wait time and ads, is serving files directly rather than zipped. They could offer this feature on the original .org site with no downsides (the traffic won't increase because 99% of devices will support gzip on the application layer anyway) but I wonder why they don't.
According to a site admin from that forum post (which is from April 2021--who knows where things stand now):
If you use the OpenSubtitles website manually, you will have advertisements on the web site, NOT inside the subtitles.
If you use some API-software to download subtitles (Plex, Kodi, BSPlayer or whatever), you are not using the web site, so you do NOT have these web advertisements. To compensate this, ads are being added on-the-fly to the subtitles itself.
Also, from a different admin
add few words from my side - it is good you are talking about ads. They not generating a lot of revenue, but on other side we have more VIP subscriptions because of it :) We have in ads something like "Become VIP member and Remove all ads..."
Also, the ads in subtitles are always inserted on "empty" space. It is never in middle of movie. What Roozel wrote - "I think placing those ads at the beginning and end is somewhat OK but not in the middle or at random points in the film" - should not happen, if yes, send me the subtitle.
If the subtitle is from tv series, there are dialogues from beginning usually. System is finding "quiet" place where ads would fit, and yes, this can be after 3 minutes of dialogue...
This is important to know, I hope now it is more clear about subtitle ads - why we are doing this, there is possibility to remove them and how system works.
so a scenario like in the screenshot isn't supposed to happen. I guess if you really wanted to see if it happens you could grab all the English subs via the API and just do a quick grep or what-have-you
I'm curious how much companies like NordVPN pay them to inject ads into subtitles for pirated media.
Nothing for putting it there, but if someone goes to the affiliate link and sign up they get a comission ofc.
i've had ads inside of subs downloaded via browser. whenever i see them, i load 'em up in my sub editor and remove them. i usually have to adjust timing anyway as my sources are rarely the same.
Thank you for this!
Jesus Christ fuck them. "Fair is fair"?
You'd think they were making the damn things themselves.
Yeah, if they weren't sourced by people giving them to them under other pretenses I wouldn't judge.

All the ones I've seen have been in the credits. Putting it in the middle of a movie is kinda shitty, but guarantees the ads are at least seen.
It's true, one does not simply log into Mordor.
Scummy.
