About this project

subtitle-downloader-tool is a lightweight desktop application for Windows designed to automate the process of finding and downloading accurate subtitle files. Unlike basic search tools, it utilizes a built-in auto-match engine that fingerprints video files (using resolution, runtime, and hashes) to ensure subtitles are frame-perfectly synced to the specific cut of the video. Key capabilities include: - Search and Matching: Supports searching by title, IMDb ID, or file hash. It ranks candidates based on match confidence and upload reputation. - Batch Processing: Ability to perform "season sweeps" to resolve subtitles for entire folders of episodes in one operation. - Multi-language Support: Allows downloading multiple language tracks simultaneously and includes a smart fallback system for regional dialects. - Synchronization Tools: Features a built-in drift correction toolkit to nudge timing offsets and automatic encoding detection (e.g., UTF-8, Windows-1252) to prevent garbled text. - Portability: Operates as a standalone executable with no required runtime installations or registry footprint.
