Looking for a dev who wants to contribute
Hi all,I have an idea for a Python script that will be heavily used by the Plex crowd.
When the Plex developers added the possibility to auto-download subtitles via an agent, my HTPC routines changed quite heavily. Now I basically never manually download subtitles anymore. This is super-sweet, but if I ever have to restart with a fresh library again, the auto downloading of subtitles might prove to be super painful because of two things:
1. Some of the agents have a daily limit of 40 or 60 downloaded subs per day.
2. Subs don't have the same life length as other metadata out there on the web. Meaning that they more often is moved into so called season packs or similar. So many episodes might end up without subtitles when I rescan my video files.
I have been accused of a lot in my life, but noone has ever called me a great (or even good) developer. So I am trying this sub forum to see if someone is interested in building a Python script which checks in the Plex database for subtitles, and then copy them over so they are placed next to the video file.
I had a talk to Elan about this (who I do not want to bother in creating such a thing as I want him to continue developing cool things for the future instead), and he mentioned that any semi-skilled Python developer would be able to create a script that looks into the database, finds the subtitle, and puts it next to the video file. I am not even close to semi skilled however, but hopefully someone reading this is, and is as much worried as I am about loosing all the subtitles that has been auto-downloaded already. Is anyone up for the task of trying to create such a script?
