Hello,
I tried your extension. seems very kind !

It works fine for me... (linux ubuntu 9.04 + vlc 1.1 beta)
just : i don't really understand the goal of the button "+".
it would maybe be clearer if we knew that no subtitle was found (in fact i was wondering if it worked or not)

that'is it !

hi,

I downloaded the script. I tried to save it and found out there is not \extensions\ folder in my \lua folder (there are meta, intf, and http folders however). What should I do?

and secondly, how can I see if the script was successfully loaded? How will I use it?

thanks,
Chris

Thanks for your prompt reply.

I just checked and I have version 1.0.5 (goldeneye). It is the latest I can get.

I will find version 1.1 and try again.

Thanks again for your answer

I am VLC user since years. I have been looking for lyrics tool in it. Is there any update available to see the lyrics of the song that we play in it? It should not work like subtitles as I know about it already.

the feature is very interesting! thank you!
does the extension save the subs somewhere on computer? where?

Posted: **02 Sep 2010 15:40**

It doesn't save the subs, but if you want to download them you can use the links displayed on Tools => Messages.

Posted: **04 Sep 2010 21:17**

I didn't have time to update it recently but it is still working well.

Thanks!

This is a nice plugin! Hope you will update and evolve this plugin!

Only negative is it seems I get " a link to "Allscine (France)" and also have to activate the plugin! Would be nice if it was just activated!

My humble feedback for this killer plugin!

I've changed some lines of this extension for improve results of the searches of a specific language. Also i have added the number of subtitles that includes the file, in the case that you need a version of two files.

You may get the file in this url:

Thanks to ale5000

Hi, I've further enhanced the script allowing a *real* subtitle download (it's placed in the same folder of the movie that is being played).
Read and try my script on my blog: http://thepanz.netsons.org/post/vlc-and ... downloader
