The exact moment OpenSubtitles becomes ClosedCaption
The exact moment OpenSubtitles becomes ClosedCaption
They are transitioning to their .com domain, whose only bonus, other than the wait time and ads, is serving files directly rather than zipped. They could offer this feature on the original .org site with no downsides (the traffic won't increase because 99% of devices will support gzip on the application layer anyway) but I wonder why they don't.
Ironically, this might be an area where machine learning could be beneficial.
Live is great but I don’t think it’d be feasible for most languages to be a real 1:1 translation in live.
Even a 10s delay allows for the whole sentence/phrase to be captured and translated in entirety. A lot of languages can drastically change meaning due to a word on the other side of the sentence.
The great thing about television, is that "live" is a flexible concept.
The playback software could happily play 10 seconds ahead of what's actually on the screen, and have plenty of time to translate like that.
In the same way that we sometimes put delays into live events to allow the subtitling systems breathing room.
It's already a thing with near-zero delay. MS Teams does it (dunno about the translation) and the QSMP Minecraft server has a bunch of livestreamers from different countries who use it for realtime translation.
[EDIT: Live demo from today. Shit's impressive.]
What actually happens is that the current sentence gets "corrected" several times as you keep speaking. It's a bit jittery and if the word order differs significantly then the translated sentence might be a bit wonky for a few seconds, and there are a few misses but overall it works really well; at least well enough that people who don't speak each others' language can have a conversation in their native tongues with essentially no more delay than reading speed. I can easily follow a livestream in a foreign language with the live subtitles (which was not the case a mere 6 months ago for any language other than English).
Live shouldn't be used in a home setup anyway unless for something where interaction is required, like a teams call or twitch stream. Anything else can take a delay for the sake of preserving the meaning.
It doesn't have to be live as in with the player but I imagine the audio could be loaded into the program simultaneously and have it produce cc for the entire movie as you watch it
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=h5JNnvXjmmY Looks like they actually solved it a while ago, this video shows multiple base languages. Sorry but I can't speak to specifics, but I do know my next project.
Whisper AI is pretty darn good. I've used it to make subtitles for MST3K vids where nothing good exists and maybe only had to spend 10 minutes doing some clean up. It even recognizes when different people are speaking and breaks up the subs accordingly.
I don't think I would use this actually, because I don't see how an AI could capture the performance. I'm a sub over dub guy anyway, but at least someone making a dub has a sporting chance to make an interesting performance.
I typically grab the better quality rips and they almost always come with subtitles. Three hats ones are older or more obscure movies/shows that don't have many options to choose from.
there's a comment from a few months ago with a torrent, the date inside is july 2022 so will be missing anything newer: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/comment/5089994
Is addi7ed also good?
Are you watching this on a Nintendo DS or something?
It looks like they really wanted to get both frames in one picture, so they did the obvious thing…load one frame on your phone, another frame on your partners, and then take your 2007 flip phone out of the drawer and use that to take a picture of both of them.
Side note: why is it SO HARD to put two images together into one image file on a smartphone? There are multiple apps that want $1.99/mo for the privilege of making a collage, Instagram Layout has been broken for years now, and the first party solutions (particularly Google Photos) are overengineered in some big ways (like not allowing you to make a collage without some kind of border) and underengineered in others (like not allowing you to choose an image from a search, make a different search, and then choose another image). And as far as I can tell the only way to actually put one image on top of another is to use Double Exposure on Snapseed.
We've had this problem solved on Windows for literally my entire life, and I'm pushing 40. So why can't we figure out basic, no frills raster editing on mobile? I'm not even talking about layers (though, yes please). I'm talking about pretty much anything other than a filter.
i've had this issue so many times I just gave up and now use gimp from vnc connected on localhost to termux
"Just." That's awesome.
I mean that. I'm not being sarcastic. I love that idea. I just don't have the capacity for something like that; I just want something built in to Android.
The answer is that app stores are designed to rake users over the coals for all the money they can. Part of the reason I have never made my phone the center of my computing. It's too expensive and crap of an experience. I have just always made a habit of carrying around my laptop almost everywhere. I have an old phone (now PinePhone) for calls, texts, music, basic web browsing and internet tethering for the laptop.
Right, but you could say that about...anything. And there are FOSS solutions on FDroid and even the Play Store for a ton of other problems, so why not image editing?
My Samsung does it very easily with decent customization options in Gallery (and has for at least two phones). What phone are you using that can't? I agree the collage feature in Google photos is lame.
Pixel, but I've had the problem with Motorola and LG in the past too.
Samsung has enough other problems that I'll never make that leap, but it's good to know that somebody is working on it.
You say "gallery," but do you mean "Google Photos?" And if so, did you miss the part where I said that exists but is weirdly both over- and underbuilt?
I really like JointPics: https://play.google.com/...
Unfortunately, it wasn't updated for 10 years, so it may not work for too long.
Your device isn't compatible with this version.
Bummer. Thanks for the thought, though!
I once saw a movie where the subtitles before the movie were like "join my wow guild". Loved it
Never played it :(
Never played it :) *
I'm telling you, there will be a streaming service that will deepfake ads into finished movies. Darth Vader will turn at the at the camera and say "No, I am your father... and you should buy the Elon Musk biography on audible dot com for free"
Slow down there, Satan. I kid you not, I had someone approach me to help develop technology like this a long time ago. The idea was to break into video streams at the ISP and insert advertising on the fly w/o prior approval.
My reaction, after realizing this person wanted to turn the internet into an ad-encrusted wasteland*, was: "What happens when that video stream is something live with a LOT of money behind it, like the Superbowl?" The legal and professional ramifications didn't even clock with this guy. It was squarely in the "not my problem" category.
(* More-so than it is now. I'm not saying we're getting off light, but this guy was a-okay with making everything look like the hallway bulletin board in a college dorm.)
Exactly. I tell this story to remind people that cynics aren't just old cranks on internet forums. They're also salespeople that decided to make some cash on our way to (consumer) hell, and they're entitled to a turn at holding the pitchfork.
We should've killed him when we had the chance. Now he's too powerful...
Satan wouldnt do that. Jesus is the one who wants all the advertising
The catch is that you're signing up for a recurring subscription, and Audible plays the hard sell when you try to cancel your subscription.
(If you're determined though, this can be great for you. I think I've gotten a total of 5 or 6 audiobooks for free from Audible thanks to their free first month and "please don't leave" unsubscribe flow and "please come back" emails.)
That's been going on since Blockbuster was a growth company. Like 20 years ago, for the TV (or maybe DVD, I forget which) release of Get Shorty, they 'shopped in an Oldsmobile Sillouette minivan as a product placement, replacing the original vehicle.
"Its the Cadillac of minivans."
edit: Actually, the Olds was the one in the theatrical release, which got replaced with another make/model for TV. All the releases I can find so far include the Sillouette.
Only a question of time. Ads are already digitally inserted into movies and shows.
I was at a Cracker Barrel last night and among the random shit on their walls was an old checker board. The border of the board, taking the majority of the space available, was covered in ads. I guess it never changes.
And for our next sponsor, check out Raid Shadow of Mordor
Scummy.
"I can't tunnel the ring in TCP mister Frodo, but I can tunnel you."
“One does not simply walk into Mordor…” Boromir turns to the camera and continues, “…unlike this video’s sponsor - nordvpn! With the code ‘flame of the west’ you can simply walk your way into an 85% discount off the price of a full years subscription! Thanks nordvpn, and now back to the council of Elrond”
This is pirate on pirate violence. Blasphemy.
Nord VPN can protect you from 3rd parties* that spy on your activities and sell your data.
*Disclaimer: The Eye of Sauron does not apply. Offer not valid in Mordor.
I occasionally see those types of ads in subs downloaded through the Plex UI, but usually it's in an intro or at the end. Haven't seen them in the middle of a dialogue yet.
I think they only put them in when there's a long period with no captions. Usually at the beginning or end of a video, but I've had them during a silent/dialogue free scene in the middle of a movie before.
I think this is at the very end of LOTR 1 if I remember correctly. Like they cut off two of Sam's lines
Mullvad>Nord
Because:
Monero>Snitchcoin
What is snitchcoin?
That's a bit harsh
Bitcoin is a Snitchcoin. Everything is does everywhere it goes and everyone trading in its entire history is tracked and publicated %100 all the way down to the IP address.
Closest thing you can get away with that is to swap Monero for the Bitcoin on Bisq.
Monero is anonymous. %100. Regular upgrade to the shuffling of the anonymity is by design and happens between twice a year and every other year.
Mullvad accept Monero directly. No third party snitch tracker doing the acceptance for them. They give the same discount for the payment method.
I'm familiar with Bitcoin and Monero, it just wasn't clear to me how they related to those VPNs.
I'm all for privacy but if you feel the need to pay for a VPN with Monero, and get seemingly offended by ones that don't accept it, then I really have to wonder what you need it for.
Just an FYI, if I'm suspicious and I've only interacted with you once, I'm sure anyone who actually cares is also already suspicious of you. If you're so big on Monero, then you should also know about OpSec.
Nord is a snitch VPN. Nothing you do in it is private.
I'm paranoid by choice. I'm choice of such because I'd rather have the skill before the need is the status and late to the party with any skill at all.
And don't tell anyone they use it to sling dope on the darknet either.
I assume because Bitcoin has a public ledger and Monero doesn't. Its more than that, but that's the gist. Monero literally exists to offer additional privacy over Bitcoin.
No idea about those VPNs in particular, but I assume its a similar privacy issue, such as keeping logs...
I've had good luck lately with SubScene, I've only downloaded a few files though, so not a huge sample set
Never saw any ads with Subscene files. But I don't think Subscene provide api for apps.
yea, I've just been dragging and dropping files into VLC
Just put the srt in same folder and rename it exactly to the media file. Almost all media player support this.
cool! thanks for the tip
There are a few scripts available on GitHub to remove these ads automagically
Some of them try and sneak an ad at the start or end. It's rare though.
Most stuff now is mkv which has a good chance of including the subtitles straight from the Blu-ray or streaming service.
I tend to wait for at least a digital or physical release before downloading so I don't get a load of blurry crap with an ad for an Asian gambling site splattered across the middle of it.
Paid torrent trackers don't really exist as far as I know, that's only really a thing on Usenet. The most common way to get into invite-only private trackers is through recruitment threads on other trackers, so if you aren't already a member of at least 1 private tracker it's hard to get into the scene to be honest. There are a few private trackers with open signups, or an ability to apply for an account and get manually approved, but those are pretty rare. The only one I'm currently aware of having open signups is pornolab, and as the name suggests that is a tracker dedicated to porn only. Another one that is very easy to get into is IPTorrents. It's invite-only, but they are giving so many invites to members that there are lots of people that will give you an invite if you just ask nicely
I have a script that I found somewhere and have made personal tweaks to: https://pastebin.com/RJf9kajk Put it in a file called sub-clean.sh and check the instructions in the script on how to add it to bazarr
I have not noticed any issues with it, but there can of course be false positives (like someone saying the word "Facebook" in a series/movie), so your miles may wary. (this is why i leave the .trash.tmp file personally, so that i can restore the removed lines if needed)
and as always, this script is provided as is, but it might help someone out there
Yes, you will have to redownload the subtitles.
Odd that people downvote me for answering your questions.
The useless comment that provided no information whatsoever and just told you to git gud, was up voted to 24+
I check my srt files for that kind of thing and just remove it. But i don't download as much material as many people, perhaps.
thanks for using Leebra!

It's true, one does not simply log into Mordor.
