Presentation

periscope is a subtitles searching module written in python that tries to find a correct match for a given video file.

The subtitles sites are handled as plugins and currently support OpenSubtitles.org, SubtitleSource.org and Podnapisi.net

Installation

Ubuntu

For Ubuntu users, the deb on the downloads page should install all required. It will work on Ubuntu 8.10, but I'm not sure about previous versions.

Debian

I believe the Ubuntu package should be installable on Debian unstable.

From source code

You can checkout the code. The setup.py is included in SVN.

Usage

You can use the module with a CLI by doing

$ periscope </path/to/my/video> -l en
$ periscope </path/to/my/vidoe> -l en -l fr

to search subtitles in english, replace 'en' by 'fr', 'de' or whatever language you would like your subtitles in.

You can also use periscope in Nautilus by following the instructions on the wiki page

Requirements

• You will need Python (>= 2.4, < 3.0) to run periscope.
• You will also need the python module beautifulsoup to parse html pages.
