I'm not a fan of the turns Open Subtitles has made toward monetisation, ad injection etc. — particularly not considering the unpaid volunteer work that has gone into their offerings. The straw that broke the camel's back for me was their "AI" subtitles, though.

I don't know if they sincerely think what they're doing is related to AI, the results I've had the misfortune of downloading was subpar speech-to-text gibberish. And from what I can tell they're even charging for generating those.

So, as I ask in the title, what alternatives to Open Subtitles are currently available for Kodi? I've used Subscene in the past but the add-on stopped working — or maybe I just need to look into the settings again?

Apologies if this is the wrong sub for instance downtime alerts. Can't find any means of contacting the admin through other channels, unfortunately.

The Leminal Space admin gave notice over the weekend that there would be some maintenance, and since then the site has thrown errors when I check in. The status page shows all systems operational, though.

Edit: Forgot to mention, I can't access from the Eternity app either. I've cleared my browser cache and site data too, I still get the error message:

There was an error on the server. Try refreshing your browser. If that doesn't work, come back at a later time. If the problem persists, you can seek help in the Lemmy support community or Lemmy Matrix room.
