Finding subtitles online

What it is for

Section titled “What it is for”

When no subtitle exists beside the video or inside it, Kaveo can search OpenSubtitles for one in your language.

Settings › Subtitles › Online search with its four rows empty: API key, Languages, Account and Password with Test account beside it, and Downloads today not known yet, under the note that the key is enough to search and downloading also needs an account

How to use it

Section titled “How to use it”

Set it up

Section titled “Set it up”
  1. Open Settings › Subtitles › Online search.
  2. Paste the key from your OpenSubtitles profile, under API Consumers, into API key.
  3. In Languages, list language codes separated by commas, most wanted first.
  4. Fill in Account and Password with your OpenSubtitles sign-in.
  5. Press Test account to check the name, password and key, then Save.

Downloads today shows what is left and when the count restarts.

If your computer has no password store, a line under the key and the password says they are kept only until you restart.

Section titled “Search”
  1. Right-click the picture, open Subtitles and choose Search online….
  2. To narrow the list, type release words or a language code into the Filter by release, group, quality… box.
  3. Click a result, then Use this — or double-click it. Kaveo downloads the subtitle, puts it on screen and adds it under Beside the video.

Good to know

Section titled “Good to know”
  • The key alone is enough to search; Use this also needs the account.
  • For a language OpenSubtitles lacks, Kaveo also searches the older opensubtitles.org, whose files need no account.
  • The key and password go to the credential store only when you press Save.
  • Some files online have broken accents (è instead of è). Kaveo repairs them when it downloads them; for one downloaded earlier, use Fix accented letters under Subtitles › Tools.
