It’s true, one does not simply log into Mordor.
The exact moment OpenSubtitles becomes ClosedCaption
Can bazarr fix this crap? I got something similar recently.
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
I once saw a movie where the subtitles before the movie were like “join my wow guild”. Loved it
Did you join it tho?
Never played it :(

OpenSubtitles is hot garbage, a viable alternative needs to exist. Pray for Subscene
Ironically, this might be an area where machine learning could be beneficial.
I’ve been watching a few projects that are attempting to live translate videos. We are very close
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.
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).
Amazing clip you posted seven months ago here. Doesn’t seem like it could even be any better now.
