Hi, I installed the HDBits subtitle agent from the unsupported appstore. I am having problems getting it to work. Each time it tries to fetch something from HDBits, I get this in the log: 2012-07-06 09:20:46,677 (-4f967000) : DEBUG (networking:153) - Requesting ‘[https://hdbits.org/](https://hdbits.org/)’ 2012-07-06 09:20:46,812 (-4f967000) : ERROR (networking:195) - Error opening URL ‘[https://hdbits.org/](https://hdbits.org/)’ The site is in fact reachable under that URL so I don’t understand why it says “error opening”. I also double checked I have the username/password right. Any ideas? Thanks ---

Me and Coil wrote this one a year ago, and I just stumbled upon this issue myself. I assume it is because HDbits made a change recently (they have changed their login procedure slightly over the last couple of months, and maybe now they did something devilish). I will try to look into it when I have time, but I think it will be to hard for me to solve, and I may need Coils help. So I need to set the expectation level low for you unfortunately. I don’t think we will have time to solve it the next 2-4 weeks ☹ ---

I just found this plugin recently.  It would be of tremendous help but it seemas as mentioned before that the login process and the way subtitles are setup on the site have been changed since hte plugin was first created / updated.  Any chance on it being updated in the near future?  Or is this an abandoned project? ---

Totally fixable. Coil found that HDbits changed the login procedures slightly, and a small change in the plugin is needed. I have created a issue for Coil, but I have no idea when he has time to do it. Press the spoiler button to see what to change if you want it up and running now instead of waiting [spoiler] If you absolutely need it now you can edit the \_\_init\_\_.py file that is inside the Code folder inside the bundle. Simply change the logon page value (in row 8) from: '[https://hdbits.org/takelogon.php'](https://hdbits.org/takelogon.php%27) to '[https://hdbits.org/login/doLogin'](https://hdbits.org/login/doLogin%27) [/spoiler] ---
