![]() Thought I'd hit up the hive mind and see if there's something out there I'm missing out on. Seems like something that most English only speakers would want/need. Like a database of which English language movies have some foreign parts and subs to go with it. I'm kind of surprised that there isn't an easier/better method to do this with files that don't have baked in subs. Are there any add-ons or methods that would do want I want? I was thinking it would at least be great if Kodi sub search allowed you to set a filter like the subscene website. It's a PITA, and something I'll only realize while watching a movie. I typically end up going the manual route via, which handily lets you filter by foreign parts only, and download them to the proper folder. I'm trying to figure out if there is an easier, perhaps even automated method of getting subtitles for movies that only have a few non-English scenes that require a foreign parts only sub, instead of one file that contains English for all dialog. Trying to decipher which subs may be foreign parts only from within Kodi search is frustrating, if not next to impossible. I'm currently using 17.6 with the default subs add-on(includes subscene). I'm trying to figure out if there is an easier, perhaps even automated method of getting subtitles for movies that only have a few non-English scenes that require a foreign parts only sub, instead of one file that contains English for all dialog.

This subreddit does not support discussion or links pertaining to gray area or illegal add-ons (such as genesis or icefilms) for Kodi made by 3rd party developers. Also, its interface customization enables users to use the software to suit there needs. It is free, available for multiple platforms, and supports local as well as remote media streaming. Pick the Right Kodi Box (updated March2019) In case you need more instructions, what you need to do is install the subtitles add-on of choice (or a few of them), and then when you start playing a film/show in your regular way, go to the play menu -> subtitles -> download subtitles, then your subtitle add-on will you show you a list of subtitles for your show. By Subham Agrawal - MaKodi is one of the best (if not the best) media streaming service out there.Kodi can be used to play almost all popular audio and video formats around. It uses a 10-foot user interface and is designed to be a media player for the living-room, using a remote control as the primary input device. I certainly don't think Kodi's going to suddenly handle DVDs correctly if it's not already doing so by 2020.Kodi is an award-winning free and open source cross-platform software media player and entertainment hub for HTPCs. ![]() And a worse-case scenario would be where I have to, like, baby the system, spending ten minutes per DVD making some piece of software work satisfactorily on each given case. Obviously it would be much more ideal if there were a MKV creator that would do this automatically. That's about the best-case scenario I think I'll be able to get my hands on. What I need is some kind of app to which I can feed a DVD source and have it convert the DVD subtitle video tracks to usable text, with a non-over-the-top font, that can then be plugged into the conversion process in MKVToolNix, without my having to then tweak the timings so the subs actually appear with the same timing they did on the DVD. Only when I feed Kodi a MKV made from the same content does it succeed. But it turns out that Kodi can't deal with these formats correctly, specifically in that it fails to recognize the required refresh rate and apply it accordingly. My original plan was to simply maintain the DVDs intact: VIDEO_TS, MPG, ISO, whatever. I can sort of understand the reason why they don't provide their own ways of converting them, but that doesn't change the fact that I need to keep the subtitles. The usual suspects, MakeMKV and MKVToolnix, don't even tell you there are subtitles to be had, let alone give you options for preserving them.
