Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

Interactive command-line utility to download subtitles from opensubtitles.org.

Prerequisites

  • You need to have an active account on opensubtitles.org, register here: https://www.opensubtitles.org/register/
  • You need node.js and npm installed on your system, any version newer than 16 can be used.

Usage

npx ossub-downloader --lang=eng

If you do not specify value for --lang, eng is going to be used. Language should be specified as a three-letter language code. You can also use all to show all subtitles regardless of language.

By default, ossub-downloader searches for video files in the working directory and uses them to search for subtitles. But you can specify a video file manually:

npx ossub-downloader --lang=eng video.mp4

Opensubtitles allows searching subtitles by file hash. This method is used by default by ossub-downloader. It gives less results, but it is more accurate. But if you want to search by file name only, you can specify --use-name (or its shorthand -n) flag:

npx ossub-downloader --use-name

npx ossub-downloader -n

Authorization

Opensubtitles API requires authorization. Upon starting, ossub-downloader is going to ask for your username and password. You can save them into ~/.ossub-downloader.creds.json file and not be prompted to type them again but it can be insecure, because this file is not encrypted in any way.
