Show HN: SubSync – Automatically download subtitles for your movies

A tip if you want easy subs is to use Kodi. It has plug-ins for subtitle downloads so you just start playing the movie and go into a list of subs it found from subscene, opensubtitles or similar. Couldn't be easier.

My user experience with Kodi's plugins was not good. It kept finding subtitles for the wrong episode, or even worse the wrong show. And once I found a decent one I had to manually time sync them almost every time.

The thing is I didn't have a lot of trouble manually finding the right subtitles in any popular website, it would be different (i.e. not Kodi's fault) if the data was wrong or difficult to find on the first place.

I'll give this a try and see if it performs better.

Smplayer comes with this feature and it works very well too.

Nice!

I will compile a list later of media players that has this feature and put it on SubSync github so it can help people out as much as possible.
