thanks for the suggestion. i was completely unaware of the whisper project and even if it doesnt help much for movies, that might come in real handy for some of the OTA rips I have from my friends (was pretty sure I was SOL for those but this seems like a dcent option).

sounds like it can even be run entirely offline so even better

interesting, that actually sounds like an awesome idea for the OTA tv rips, cuz I doubt I would even be able to find anything that matches by duration on normal sub sites.

I hadn’t heard of whisper gui / whisperx before but I see it has a github. do you know if that is cloud-based or something you can run entirely local? (wondering if it is cloud-based in case i need to allow it net access & also curious if it would eat a lot of bandwidth for roughly 2 seasons of broadcast tv shows aka somewhere around 30-35 hrs worth of audio)

edit: apparently whisper can be run entirely offline according to this so if whisperx is a fork, then i assume it would allow this too

yeah, i mostly use subscene now. Looks like I was able to pip install subliminal so will check that out… guess i need to make some accounts/api keys first.

do you still get issues with mismatched / out-of-sync subs here and there?

what do you use instead? i usually start on subscene and on the rare time it doesn’t have it or down, then i go and hit all the others i know until i find it or come up empty handed.

I use ublock in the browser and never click on links when watching videos (does vlc even support that out of the box? never tried)
