When searching for subtitles, my OpenSubtitles account is not used?

I’ve literally never had the opensubittles agent actually supply subtitles when scanning media. I had assumed that the OS Agent configuration was there to be used by the manual search because I didn’t know the Agent was supposed to get them in the first place.

It may be the first time it’s been asked, but there were two different people in the beta thread whose mental model was “auth to OS happens through the OS agent” when debugging:

I’ll look more and try to figure out why my agent isn’t finding any subtitles, but it seems like a pretty reasonable assumption that providing your username and password to the credentials dialog of the only thing in the settings page that says “OpenSubtitles.org” would authenticate the application’s connections to OpenSubtitles.org using those credentials, especially when you’ve had issues with OS.o rate limits for unauthenticated users.
