Subloader settings are accessed from the Settings button in the Subloader GUI. They are saved in a JSON file. The name and location of the JSON file depends on the version of Subloader you are using:

  • Installer - Subloader installed by the installer will keep the config file in %AppData%/Subloader/config.json. This will most likely resolve to C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming.
  • Portable - portable version of the app will keep and expect the JSON config file subLoadConfig.json to be in the same directory as the executable.

If Subloader for any reason can't parse, access or find the config file, it will use the default settings.

General

In the General tab of Subloader settings you will find the configuration for languages and download settings.

You can transfer languages between wanted language list (on the left side) and all language list by using the buttons or by double-clicking the language entries.

In Settings you can configure also configure other options:

  • Always on top - When checked, Subloader will stay above other windows.
  • Allow multiple downloads - If this option is checked Subloader will allow downloading multiple subtitle files named movie-title.lang-id.format, for example: matrix-reloaded.eng.srt. If user downloads multiple subtitles from the same language, the files will be named movie-name.(1).lang-id.format.
  • Download to Subs folder - This option allows user to download subtitles into a separate Subs folder in the same directory as the file. This option can be used only if option above is checked as well. The naming of the files is the same as for the option above.
  • Overwrite same language files - If checked, when user downloads multiple subtitles of the same language Subloader won't create multiple files named movie-name.(1).lang-id.format, movie-name.(2).lang-id.format etc. but overwrite the existing movie-title.lang-id.format file with the last downloaded subtitle.

Subtitles

Subtitles tab in settings is used to set some general filters when querying the subtitle list.

  • Preferred subtitle format - subloader will try to get the downloaded file in this format. I am not sure whether they do conversion when the subtitle is requested for download. If they return some other format then the one set here, that format will be used when setting the file extension-
  • Foreign parts only - whether you want to include, exclude or get only subtitles which have only the foreign parts translated. For example if the subtitle language is English and marked as Foreign parts only, that means only parts where the people are not speaking English will have subtitles.
  • For hearing impaired - whether to include, exclude or get only subtitles that have sounds and other non verbal parts noted in the script.
  • Only from trusted sources - whether to get only subtitles which are considered from a trusted source by OpenSubtitles.
  • Include AI translated - whether to include AI translated subtitles. It refers specifically to translations generated using artificial intelligence technologies, including deep learning neural networks and natural language processing (NLP) models.
  • Include machine translated - whether to include machine translated subtitles (different than AI). It refers to methods such as rule-based machine translation, statistical machine translation, and neural machine translation (NMT).

Login

Login is self explanatory, on this tab you can use credentials from your account on OpenSubtitles.com to login. After a successful login you will see some info about your account such as Username, Level, Allowed daily downloads and the expiration timestamp of the token in your computer's local time.

Your login info will be automatically deleted when the expiration timestamp is passed.

The number of your allowed daily downloads will depend on the level on your account on OpenSubtitles.com and has nothing to do with this application. You can see the user ranking table here.

You can use the Register button to open the OpenSubtitles.com registration page.

About
