How can I add my opensubtitles account to Plex.  
Now it is not using my VIP membership to download the subs.

I can use the old legacy media scanner, but then Plex complains.  
In the new one I can’t configure my account.

I still have mine logged in (with [opensubtitles.ORG](http://opensubtitles.ORG), not the new .COM) and I _think_ it works. It should be listed under “TheTVDB” (for shows) and “Plex Movie (legacy)” (for movies) agents to configure. I haven’t had Plex complain/refuse to work with the legacy agents, though I think it did warn me about not using it once, which I also ignored because I needed the subtitle options. 🙂

I have had better luck with [Bazarr](https://github.com/bazarr), though, since Plex phased out plugins (I used to use SubZero). It takes a little set-up but makes my collection much more accessible (especially for older movies that only have vobsubs). Bazarr does have the ability to work with [opensubtitles.COM](http://opensubtitles.COM), as well as a couple other providers.
