opensubtitles subtitles not working

  • Hello I'm having this issue with libreelec for a couple days now where opensubtitles suddenly stopped working, when I try to load subtitles theres an error prompt asking me to check the log. Can I fix it or do I need to reset libreelec? Any help is appreciated.

    armv7 rev4 bcm2709

    libreelec 7.0.2

  • Have the same problem on a Cubox. Same error subs from Specto or SALTS show up fine, but subtile from Opensub or other sub services fail. Running latest Krypton alpha.

  • Just wanted to answer my own question, this problem is fixed by deleting the temp folder here \\LIBREELEC\Userdata\addon_data\service.subtitles.opensubtitles

    Nice persistence after almost two years! Thanks for the tip!

  • Unfortunately, the '\\LIBREELEC\Userdata\addon_data\service.subtitles.opensubtitles' folder is not a TEMP folder.

    It's where the settings for the OpenSubtitles are being stored.
