Python, Plug-ins and Subtitles

With the latest Movie Agent you have disabled Python calls meaning all plug-ins are disabled. This essentially disables the best ever companion to Plex (and the one that have contributed the most to Plex success for free) Sub-Zero.

Sub-Zero made subtitles with Plex “just work”, it have always been that good and I can’t believe you don’t value this contribution (by @panni) higher.

I say you either implement Sub-Zero into Plex or you hire panni, or both. But you can’t just exclude such a function as the best subtitle-plugin there is, and have ever been, for Plex.

(Moderator: This doesn’t belong in “Third Party” category as i believe this is a much bigger issue primarily in regards to subtitles.)

Honestly having subtitles working as well as they did with Sub-Zero was one of the main reasons I was using Plex, without this I am unsure whether I will even keep it.

I agree, it really made Plex stand out as a mediacenter-solution.
They really need to reconsider the value contributed to Plex by Sub-Zero.

Completely agree, sub-zero is a must for me and probably anyone who wants great subs when watching foreign content (or while eating crisps…)

Why on earth did you exclude your MVP (most valuable plugin)? Subzero was key in ensuring non-english speakers like myself could watch great content with very little hassle. Pleas either include in Plex or give us a way to get our favorite MVP back!

I understand the redesign being made on agents, yet supporting 3rd party agents to provide additional information is a must. Unfortunately OpenSubtitles is not enough specially for non English speakers. I hope some kind of middle ground can be found and allow Panni to continue delivering his amazing plug-in. Otherwise, we really need a long term solution.

I came on here only because I was annoyed yet again on how subtitles are handled, and to see if there was a suggestion on how to fix it. I notice there isn’t. I also loved sub-zero.

My main languages for subtitles are English and Swedish. It would be great if I could limit the search function to only show a limited set of languages to choose from. In all honesty I am not at all interested in any subtitles in any other language than Swedish and/or English. I guess the same applies to pretty much all non-swedes regarding Swedish. Yet the loading of the selection drop box takes literally forever, as it needs to load what feels like a billion languages I’m not interested in.

All of the above used to work flawlessly with sub-zero by the way, and I very rarely had to go in and manually assign a subtitle file to a movie file. These days I have to do with any and all movie files (we have kids). It also means that my automated downloads aren’t fully as useful as I need to be around to load the correct subtitles. Previously it “just worked”, even if I wasn’t at home.

Anyways: bring back support for sub-zero, and if that takes time, enable a “preferred selection” of languages for the search-for-subtitle-dropdown. I doubt many people truly are interested in more than 5 languages for their subtitles (though I have no doubt there are exceptions to my statement/preference).

With the new scanner/agent automatic movie subtitles are back to being a big issue. And it’s a absolute must for me, otherwise I’ll be forced to abandon Plex.
Please open up for plug-ins like Sub-Zero to work, or implement similar features in the movie agent.
Until then, I’m switching back to the legacy scanner/agent.

Sorry to come late in this thread, but I REALLY depend on sub zero, so the new Plex Movie scanner is a dead end for me.

Sub Zero is the only plugin that I use because it improves the subtitles selection so much compared to the implemented solution.

If you are going to impose the new scanner and disable the legacy one, it will be a great loss for many users here (including paying ones).

No worries, you are just as welcome! :smiley:
It’s never to late to convince Plex of their mistake in this case.

Spread the word, we need to get the votes up to get their attention. :slight_smile:

Agreed!

Please bring this back!

Bring sub zero back!

Plex keeps junking the features I love and use(d). First PHT (please do NOT comment I can use the ■■■■■■ media player, it SUCKS and is not an acceptable replacement), and now Plugins, specifically Sub-Zero. Bring it back!
