OpenSubtitles.com and OpenSubtitles.org work together to ensure that users have access to the latest and highest quality subtitles. Here’s how the synchronization between these two platforms works:
All subtitles are initially uploaded to OpenSubtitles.org. This platform serves as the central hub where subtitles are:
- Administered: All uploads are managed through OpenSubtitles.org, where they are organized and categorized.
- Moderated: Subtitles are carefully reviewed by moderators to ensure they meet quality standards, are accurately synced to the appropriate media, and do not contain harmful content.
To keep the content on OpenSubtitles.com up-to-date, a synchronization script runs every three hours. This script:
- Imports New Content: Instead of just linking to the files on OpenSubtitles.org, the new subtitles are fully imported into OpenSubtitles.com. This ensures that the content is directly available and integrated with the new platform.
- Processing: Each subtitle file is read and analyzed upon import. This step is crucial to ensure:
- Compatibility: The subtitle can be further processed on OpenSubtitles.com, allowing users to change the framerate, format, or apply delays.
- Security: Files are scanned to ensure they are free of viruses or malicious code, providing a safe experience for users.
While subtitles are fully imported to OpenSubtitles.com, users can still access the original files on OpenSubtitles.org. Each subtitle on OpenSubtitles.com includes a link, labeled “View Subtitles on OpenSubtitles.org.” This link directs users to the original file on OpenSubtitles.org, where they can view additional details or download the original version.
What About Uploaders?
If you’re an uploader, it’s important to note that unless you link your OpenSubtitles.org account to OpenSubtitles.com, your uploads will be imported as “anonymous”.
Once you import your account, you can synchronize your uploads and have them credited under your username on OpenSubtitles.com.
This process not only corrects the uploader name on your profile but also ensures all your contributions are recognized. For guidance on linking your account and importing your uploads, please refer to this support article.
The synchronization between OpenSubtitles.org and OpenSubtitles.com ensures that users have access to a wide range of high-quality subtitles on both platforms. By maintaining a secure and synchronized database, OpenSubtitles continues to offer a seamless experience for subtitle enthusiasts around the world.
