openSubTitles Limitations - PeerFlixOne - 2024-12-15
You may also have noticed that opensubtitles.com has been imposing a limit on subtitle downloads for some time now.
At the moment I have "solved" this by using multiple open subtitles accounts. This seems to be allowed.
What other solutions do you use to solve the above?
In addition to manually switching the open subtitles account, I have also written an API script that automatically periodically adjusts the open subtitles account. At the moment I am no longer experiencing any limits and/or problems.
This solution is probably not entirely the intention, but to circumvent the limit, in my case 20 subtitles per day, I did not see any other solution for a while.
Anyone have other ideas? I'm curious.

Paying for VIP works really well.. It's 15 bucks a year and helps support an extremely useful service.

I totally agree with you. And it is not I do not want to pay. But Paypal is asking for a credit card which I do not have. So if you know another solution to make it possible to pay them I am more than willing to pay a fee.
Btw I sent them 2 months ago an email about this issue. Never got an answer. Tried another email address. Still waiting for an answer. I asked them, by email, if it was possible to pay for 5 years, and send the total amount just once.
If anyone knows a solution please let me know! And thanks for your answer (https://forum.jellyfin.org/u-kandykarter)

Just to let you know .. Tried this website (https://yifysubtitles.ch/) and they have a lot of subtitles too.
So I wrote a php script to retrieve the subtitles automatically (they do not provide an api yet!) based on each IMDB identifier. And if the right subtitles were retrieved they will be imported into Jellyfin.
I wasn't aware of this website earlier. And I still like to pay for a VIP openSubTitles account !
(If anyone likes to get the code too .. Just let me know!)

Sounds very useful, do you mind sharing the script?

The limitation is extremely frustrating. Especially because I am a 3 star contributor and have a virtually unlimited download limit on .org. Yet, they dont allow non vip users, regardless of their status or level, to download from .org.
Also, paying is not much of an issue but is also a bit troublesome.
