Subtitles converter (for mkv file)

Hello everyone,

I am currently working on a subtitle converter project.

The purpose of this script is to convert the various subtitle formats contained in an .mkv to .SRT, in order to “remove” their formatting.

This way, the subtitles can be displayed correctly on Plex (with the player’s formatting parameters (size, background, etc.))

I am however blocked by the .pgs (image) format, I can’t manage to extract them correctly and convert them, I was going to use an OCR to convert, but I can’t get a result.

My script is composed of bash and python (it runs in a docker), once I have finalized a bit more I could publish it, but in the meantime, would some of you have info on how I could manage these .pgs files?

Have you considered using something which is already available, e.g. Subtitle Edit?

Yes, but unfortunately, the Linux version is not stable (edge) so I don’t prefer to use it in a docker that I want to be as reliable as possible
